Pretty good estimate then :-)

Btw, the free Mac software is called handbrake, not pineapple - the logo contains a pineapple.

The nice thing about handbrake is that you can create any dimension video you want (horizontal and vertical) at any compression rate. You can also set an end file size and it will automatically compute the best compression rate for you.
