I have been into this movie thing for a little over a year now.. been converting from DivX to VCD, SVCD and capturing from VHS and DV to vcd, SVCD but nwo I have started ti see that DiuvX is WAY better,,, but I don't get what setting syou should have... and what Codec is the best?

I have alswys had the latest DivX codec and when I try to save something in Virtual Dub ... as AVI with the DivC codec I always seem to end up with a little bigger filesizes than mpeg-1.. and thats' not right... I really really wonder how people tget so damn good quality on these DVD rips you see out on the web.... a whole movie around 716 Mb with excellent quality...

Of course I know "shit in shit out"...

in DivX 3 or 4 there was a standar of 900 something kbps when I opened the compression in Vdub, is that enough??? or what?

What's a good setting?
