Bitrate, audio size, video size, you know, what kind of numbers are you using?
Thanks,

It depends what you are making the videos for?
Are they for hosted movie galleries?
If such I usually export them in wmv format, either 15 second clips at a bit rate of 150Kbps, at a res of 320x240 a 15fps. This usually results in files no larger than 300kb each.
However, if we want to bump the quality a bit (which often happens), I make the clips 10 seconds in length, change the bit rate to 340Kbps and the fps to 25, which results in files no larger than 400kb each.
Are they for members areas
You will want to offer as many options as possible. I personally agree with Jace in his specs:
WM1000
WM500
WM100
MPEG1000
Where the numbers refer to the bitrate, or thereabouts.
The other option is to just have a 'low-bandwidth' and a 'high-bandwidth' option for each format (WMV, MPEG, MOV) as everyone has their preferences.
Low bandwidth in members areas i would make them a res of 320 x 240 but pump up the bitrate and fps so they are quality (512kbps?)
High bandwidth go a resolution of 640x480 with bitrate of 1Mbps.
I hope THAT helps you in your quest for an answer to your question, as you seem to get your panties in a knot if people dont answer it EXACTLY the way you want.
And for the record, I use a PC and Adobe Premier Pro 1.5 ... for most video editing you dont 'NEED' a mega super amazing setup.
