I think he is pointing out that you use "-b 3600" to set the bitrate,
but the input file is only 1392:

Input #0, avi, from 'bob1.avi':
  Duration: 01:10:19.4, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 1392 kb/s

Video formats are a black art to me still, but you could try changing to
e.g. "-b 700" and see if it gives you a file half the size of the
original and if the quality is still acceptable.
