I just did a test with some highly compressible animated content (South Park) and got perfectly good results encoding 158x88p1 at 8 kbps. I mean, it's a slideshow obviously, but it didn't look too bad, even blown up 2-3 times.

I was able to get full 24p looking good around 40 Kbps. Of course, this is all unrestricted high profile with --tune animation, so a ton of refs and bframes. It was also pure VBR with no VBV, which you would want for streaming over the cell network

So yeah, take that with a grain of salt. Difficult content would obviously not do so well. That being said, this paired with a 24 Kbps HE-AAC v2 audio stream means 64 kbps for (relatively) nice looking and sounding full rate postage stamp video. I like experiments like these
