Well of course, a typical camera goes at about 10MBytes a second, right? (though those video editing machines require upwards of 30) But.... that's overkill.

I'm in the cable advertising business. My father started the business two decades ago, and I've been working for him. The cable spots that he runs in most of his markets are MPEG-1, taking 30 seconds of commercial footage into a 10MB file. That's 2.6Mbits a second, much less than you've said above. Plus, the quality is more than acceptable.
