Would you like to do this vitally important job that requires travel, training, hard labour, living rough, and includes heightened risk of serious injury all for minimum wage?
As someone who did choose to leave the USA, it is not as easy as they make it out to be. I honestly would probably have given up on the idea if I did not have dual citizenship. It is expensive and difficult.
Professional encoders who fully understand the encoders and the schemes in use and care about not seeing artifacting or low quality would never intentionally go as low as 300mb for a feature length movie of even an hour. Yes there are people who do such things but they’re not well regarded and it won’t look even passable on anything larger than a phone screen.
This has not been well regarded since the days when DivX ruled the pirate scene, and even then cramming a film onto a 600MB CD left a lot to be desired.
Buckaroo Banzai was working on similar tech all the way back in 1984!
RAWHIDE:Dr. Banzai is using a laser to vaporize a pineal tumor without damaging the parthogenital plate. A subcutaneous microphone will allow the patient to transmit verbal instructions to his own brain.
STAR SURGEON: What, like "raise my left arm"?
RAWHIDE: Or "throw the harpoon," . People are gonna come from all over. This boy's an Eskimo.
Seriously. Moving to a new country is GD EXPENSIVE. This is not something you can just do on a whim unless you are quite well to do. That is assuming that the other country even wants you.

Seems the answer is obvious.
