Yep, that does make sense. However I was hoping (naively) for a 4:1 size
reduction when shrinking the image 2:1 along each axis, apart from the audio
overhead of course.

If you want to have a look at my flv, I'm happy to send it to you privately.
It's Firefox using a web application, with a plain white background, some
plain colour higlighting, and little motion.

Good suggestion, I'll give that a try.

I did also try x11vnc -scale 1/2, which combined with suitable clipping
settings on flvrec does seem to give a slightly lower data rate. But it
would be nice to keep the full-res capture and then scale it down
afterwards.
