As I understand, there are difference ways and gradations for compression of Ogg Theora streams, and similar for transcoding to a lower res or other lossy process to get to the size you need for a particular purpose.  (Ogg is just the container format, it does not encode either audio or video itself).

See these links for info, links and tools for this:
 http://v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/examples.html (ffmpeg2theora)
 http://free-electrons.com/community/videos/mini-howto/

Ogg formats (both audio and video) were specifically designed to have good quality at low bitrates, so I'm pretty sure you can produce a satisfactory result with the appropriate postprocessing.
Once you are happy with the parameters, that process can be scripted/automated for future recordings.


Cheers,
Arjen.
