Sorry haven't made my self clear.


with the tests i was doing I used to get similiar sized files for lavc and 
xvid, with xvid being about 2-5% smaller.  With the new xvid options i got from 
the list (this thread), I get the larger size file - and I am not exactly sure 
why.  Which is why I have come back to the list.
