using SUPER for encoding

[sepultura]

I downloaded a music video from youtube.com, which of course, is in .flv format (flash). I am attempting to convert it to XviD. For those of you reading this that use SUPER, you know that the video bitrate encoding tops off at, i think, 9700. Using a bitrate calculator, i came up with a bitrate of 9982, or something, for the music video. It is only 9 mins. 41 seconds long. How do i configure XviD so that the video gets encoded with a bitrate of 9982, going past the limit of 9700 that SUPER tops off at?
any help would be appreciated!

Chances are that XviD would reach saturation before 9,982kbps anyway. For a video to require a bitrate that high it would need to be high resolution, which I doubt the flv is.

For some perspective, the HT profiles max out at 4,854kbps.

Forget bitrates. Convert to Xvid in single pass target quantizer mode. Setting the quantizer to 2 will give you a video that's almost indistinguishable from the source, even when looking at enlarged still frames. At 3 there will be a little macroblocking if you look at enlarged still frames but you won't notice them at normal playback speeds.
