the most clearest/optimal picture from avi-mpeg

[dysfunctional]

i was wondering what settings are best for getting the clearest picture (dvd like) and sound quality when burning downloaded movies to CD-RW?

bitrate?
kbps?
source aspect ratio? <--whats this setting about?

thanks for your input.

what do you guys use out there? which one:

Constant Bit Rate(CBB)
2pass Variable Bitrate(VBR)
Manual VBR
Automatic VBR
Constant Quality(CQ)
Real-time CBR
Real-time CQ

i am trying to convert using 2 pass variable bitrate setting at 3000

how will this work?

Whatever you do, a downloaded DivX-> converted to (S)VCD will never look like a DVD, not even close.
But when I see your questions... how about to have some tests by yourself?
Or at least read some guides, for example this: http://www.vcdhelp.com/tmpgencexplained.htm
