XviD and it´s B-frames

[simps]

What is best for quality?

Max consecutive B-frames = "3"
or
Max consecutive B-frames = "2" ???

And for compression??

Yo,

Base compression on maximum target file size. Use Equador's bit-rate calculator.

Quality is based on minimizing frame size (depends on what you want to view your resultant movie on) and maximizing bit-rate (there is a sensible upper limit tho') based on maximum target file size.

B-frames: God Knows - play around / read guides

Depends on the source, besides that is only max consecutive. The codec decides how many so it is quite possible to set 3 and still only get 2.
