It will be impossible to get under 5MB per minute
Quick test low quality 15 second screencast on Precise 5.7.1 using this to be released pAVrecord 9.0.5 with screencast framerate fix:
Duration 15 seconds
size: 852x480
video encoder: x264
video bitrate: 120 kbps
screencast framerate: 10fps
audio encoder: mp3
cbr 32k audio bitrate mono
Final file size: 210 kBytes (so would be 840 kB per minute for this reasonably low quality, low video bitrate, example - but still usable at this quality I feel).
Just remove the dummy .tar from the attached file before playing it.
I'll be uploading this newest pAVrecord version once testing is complete sometimes tomorrow.
Note: I've included a button to bring up xwininfo with this new version so easy to find window coordinates manually with that. Could also start up say an rxvt window, size that to the precise area you want to capture and then use xwininfo to note the coordinates and offsets of that area prior to closing the rxvt and then capturing that selected screen area. Certainly not an automatic method, since the user still has to manually enter the discovered values, but I find it works okay in practice.
