VHS has full vertical resolution (576), but a bit less than half the
possible horizontal res (~384).  Additionally, you're going to need to
crop some of that to eliminate black borders and edge noise, but make
sure you maintain dimentions divisible by 16, and if you're cropping the
vertical while interlaced, you will require multiples of 32...  

That should reduce your bitrate requirements dramatically.
