Do you understand what 'pixel aspect ratio' means?
You are shooting in 16:9, but 1440/1080 != 1.7777 (16:9).
We encode our 1280x720 WMV's at 3.7Mbps. Each UCV update contains ~ 0.75 to 1GB of video. If you want high quality videos, you have to have larger bitrates (therefore, larger files). There is no way around the file size issue without sacrificing quality.
