The chart on the guide helps compare the various settings with the expected file sizes.

Depending upon your perception of quality, you can get viewable
video that weighs in at only 40MB per hour. So a 2 hour movie weighs in at 80MB. I've managed to get 5 hours of video on a single 256MB CF card. Since I have 2 256 MB cards, I've decided to try a little higher quality. My new preferred settings weigh in at 55MB per hour and results in significantly better video.

Using this guide you will easily be able to fit a full movie on a 256MB SD card.
