That's because you've specified web quality.

Look at the info for that pid and you'll see this :-
qualitysizes:    original:
fhd=3726MB,hd=2356MB,sd=1333MB,web=770MB,mobile=242MB [estimated sizes]

In my prefs file I have this :-
tvmode = fhd,hd,sd,web,mobile,default

So specify something along those lines and you won't end up with a 700k
file.
