And so we get into the nitty gritty of frames-per-second, key frames, picture size and sound quality ...
I do my video stuff using iMovie/Quicktime so I can't tell you where your specific settings and options are to be found, but if you intend to play them on a PC or xbox just for fun and you're not looking to retain the original video quality, you could try:
12 frames/sec, 16 bit Mono sound, 640x480 image size. Leave the key frame alone, it's probably already set to 24. These settings will generate a file that is more like 250mb for 5 minutes in MOV format, with a data rate of approx. 750kb/sec. (I don't know exactly what the difference will be in other formats.) Should play without any bother on any reasonably modern machine.
