Can't get timelapse to work

I was expecting that a framerate of say 1 or 2 fps would give me a choppy look like Laurel and Hardy, and a small file size. I would think that a framerate of every 1 or 2 minutes would give me a nice transition of clouds or shadows and an even smaller file size.
But no matter what I select in the Alt/Timelapse Framerate option, all my recordings come out like nice smooth 15 fps (or so) videos with the huge files that would indicate that.

Per the manual:

If you enable the Use alt framerate option, you can record single frames on a periodic basis. When you record video without audio at a framerate of less than 2fps, the playback framerate is set to 2fps. The effect is a "time lapse" where video will playback faster than real time.

I have no audio enabled on the camera. There are no other criteria that I can find to make this option work. What's the trick, other than collecting Jpegs ?

Thanks.
