Xvid is the opensource version of DivX.I would definitely do a multipass variable bitrate (either DivX or Xvid) and that should decrease the filesize considerably. Basically when you say "constant quality" you tell the codec to use up X # of KBs per frame whether it needs it or not. With a multipass VBR (generally 3 passes works best) the codec decides to use more KBs on frames that needs it and takes away from those frames that don't need it. The encoding time increases obviously, but the quality/size ratio goes way up.I can only give you general tips if you use Xvid, but I can give you more specific info if you go with Divx (since I use it more often).How many DVDs are you going to convert?</blockquote>
