The Quicktime Wiki at Wikicities has a great tutorial for compressing video at low bit rates while retaining a high quality.

Certain codecs and settings can be used to achieve high quality to perceptually lossless compression at relatively low bit rates. This tutorial is intended to demystify the process.

The tutorial requires Quicktime Pro (sorry), but looks like a good starting point. I’ve done minimal video encoding with Quicktime Pro, but what I have done has been relatively unsuccessful due to lack of a good starting point. This tutorial would definitely have helped.

You do much video encoding?

Google is opening a beta test for bringing Gmail to your own domain.

This special beta test lets you give Gmail, Google’s webmail service, to every user at your domain. Gmail for your domain is hosted by Google, so there’s no hardware or software for you to install or maintain.

Gmail - 2 gigabytes of storage and search tools that help users find information fast.

Control Panel - Easily manage user accounts, aliases and mailing lists.

If you want to be a part of Google’s Gmail for your domain program, you have to sign in with a Google account and then give Google some info about your domain. They’ll let you know when the beta is available (don’t call them - they’ll call you).
