divxtodvd is there a way to increase bitrate?

[MEANGUNS]

I love the program divxtoDVD, but I movie that would normaly take up 4 + gigs on a DVD-r only converts to about 2 gigs. It must be losing about 2 gigs worth of qulity. Is there a way to increase or use more mem for bitrate or audio, anything?

Not that I know of. It simply has no user adjustments for any of this.

No. DixtoDVD is actually one of best NOOB-proof softwares I've seen for a while. My understanding is that it attempts to use only as much bitrate as is required to retian the same quality as your source. Have you watched it's output ? Is the quality unsatisfactory ? It would help to actually watch it instead of just jumping the gun

DivxtoDVD attempts to use the same quantize data that the original Divx/Xvid encode used. It does correctly calculate the expected bitrate required to fill the disk, however it only uses it if necessary. Generally, the only difference in quality between the original source and DivxtoDVD's output is a slight softening because of the resize. Otherwise it is pretty close.

There are two advantages to the approach the author has taken. One is raw speed - why do all those calculations again if you don't have to. The other is efficiency - you can fit 3 hours to a disk fairly easily, depending on the original encoding.
