[aklug] Converting ogv to mp4

I'm trying to do a screen cast. I used record my desktop to capture the screencast. That saves it in ogv format. That's the open source ogg theora format. The file size was something like 160 megabytes or something like that. I used the video editor kdenlive to convert the video into an h264 encoded mp4 video file at 8000k. I think that 800k is the bit rate. Anyway, the file size was something like 240 megabytes.

Why is the mp4 video file larger then the ogv file? Shouldn't it be going down in size? I must be missing something here.
