I've spent all day messing with Bitrate settings trying to find a good setting I can use for everything.

Does bitrate work on the higher the number the higher the quality and the bigger the file size princaple ?

I also can't decide what looks better divx mpeg 4 compression or divx 5 compression

I've tryed capturing with exact same settings in both divx 4 and 5 the same movie thousands of times i couldnt see much difference.

If any I think divx 4 actually looks clearer I dont know why that is.

All my videos are 42 Min Long Tv Episodes.

Im just driving my self crazy trying to decide on what codec to use divx 4 or 5 or maybe svcd

and what video bitrate to use

I like to fit 2 Episodes on 1 cd so thats 84mins on one cd.

Can anyone advise me ?

Sorry for being such a mess :)
