This is what I want to do: I have a mkv file on 100 MB, and I want to encode it to XviD with about half the bitrate. (Source bitrate is 6700 kbit/s)
This is what I type in commando prompt:
When the encode completes I have an incomplete file. If I omit to include bitrate=3500 I get a brilliant encode, but the same file size and bitrate (which i wanted to cut in half) as the source.
Am I doing anything wrong or is it just not possible?

(Source bitrate is 6700 kbit/s)
Your source is 2 min long?
Where did you get info from?
What's in the mkv?
Your command is wrong if you're not going to follow with a second pass.
Bitrate setting will be ingored.
By the way you need a seperator between options.
So in the end you'd drop bitrate for pass 1, and for pass 2 you'd type
pass=2:bitrate=3700
Just drop pass=1 flag for a one pass encode.
If bitrate was not to work as preferred you could mess with fixed_quant.
