Pano Workflow - File Sizes vs. Dimensions



I am still trying to get my head around this. I rarely need to produce 
a pano movie file that is very large. On average, the movie dimensions 
are 320x200 px. to approximate the proportions of a horizontal 35mm 
frame. I just like the 3:2 proportion very much. I am wanting to 
standardize my workflow method to begin to ensure some predicability in 
the output of the .mov files and the .pict files.  Some of my files go 
back to 1999 and I am trying to determine why I made the choices I did 
in  getting the output files to be a certain size, and because I'ev 
never established a workflow, I am still in a grey area about what 
effects the finally output sizes.
I recently went back to make thumbnails of all my panos again because I 
am changing the look of my web site for the panos. I am looking at two 
different .mov files whose file size is identical at 364 kb. The .pict 
files dimensions and sizes are quite different however. I can go into 
explicit detail of the dimensions of the source images if I need to but 
before having to do that, for simplicity sake; I want to ask about the 
relationship between, pixel dimensions vs. dpi on the final product.
1. Does the dpi setting have any effect on the .pict
2. Or, does the pixel dimension alone determine the output of the .pict 
file?
3. Which of these factors, (dpi vs. pixel dimension) is the greater 
determinant in the .mov file size?

Cylindrical panos only...
