HI there.
My problem is that with that behavior, I cannot encode a movie in 2 CD for
example, for example last night I encoded Equilibrium, the file ended up in
a 950 MB one!!, and the quality is not good!!, that's the real problem.
I was trying with transcode, but it's pure pain :))))
I'll try with xvid by the moment and see what happens.
Thanx for your time
