DiVx encoding options

[firered]

I am encoding a 30 Minute video which was captured using ATI Theater 550 Pro capture card using composite video from my DVR Box. The capture resolution is 720x480 and is in MPG2 format. The source is progresssive and dosent need to be deinterlaced. Anyway I want to encode this video in either 640X480, or 624X448, 608X448, 592X448 or 512X384 the resolution size dosent matter to me. Anyway Im using Divx Pro 6.12 and I want to retain file size about 250MB's or so. So my question is im using quality based option what would be a good fixed quantizer number to matain high quality with the desired file size, or recommend a good bit rate for bit rate based option. please help me out

fixed quantiser is NOT a good option for compression.

go with bitrate. doesn't divx have a bitrate calculator? use it!

better yet, just use AutoGK to encode. much less hassle for newbies
