You might try reducing the frame rate. For PAL TV at 50 frames per
second, passing mencoder "-ofps 12.5" will half your output framerate.
I've tried this, but can live will roughly 100MB/hour, so don't use it
now. You'll find other hints on transcoding for the Palm here:

although it's rather Windows focussed.
