That's about 8 megabytes per minute, which could be a tad on the high side for anyone without good broadband. A better target for the average user is about 3 MB per minute. As these are probably streaming videos, it does no good to have a bitrate higher than your customers can consume, or else the player will stop and wait to buffer. It's better to offer multiple bitrates, and let them choose. Or use a streaming server that can detect and select the best bitrate for that.
