Those 13gb/hour video files are already mpeg4 compressed I believe. My brother got a HD video camera and I've been playing with the same situation. I've concluded the best backup is keeping the original tapes and just buying more.

Why is it best? To me it seems excessive. The quality isn't as good as DVD (or at least it doesn't seem to be) and I can certainly fit 2 hours of video on a 4.7 GB DVD. At 13 GB/hr, at 30 fps, we're talking 120 KB per frame. I don't mind an imperceptible loss of quality to get the 13 GB down to 4.5 GB. It must be possible.
