Rejecting it out of hand isn't actually trying it.

10Mbps is still way too high of a minimum. It's more than YouTube uses for full motion 4k.

And it would not be blocky garbage, it would still look a lot better than JPEG.

1Mbps for video is rule of thumb I use. Of course that will depend on customer expectations. 500K can work, but it won’t be pretty.

    For normal video I think that's a good rule of thumb.

    For mostly-static content at 4fps you can cut a bunch more bitrate corners before it looks bad. (And 2-3 JPEGs per second won't even look good at 1Mbps.)

      For mostly static content like screencasts by dropping duplicate frames and producing variable framerate h.264 yuv444 videos with lossless encoding I was getting <100 kbps files for 1024x768 resolution more than a decade ago.

      Unqualified claims like these are utterly meaningless. It depends too much on exactly what you're doing, some sorts of images will compress much better than others.
