DivX Bitrate Question

[Shakey Jake33]

Ok, I'm a bit of a newbie to DivX, and I got a problem.

I have a 352x240 DivX file, which I want reduced to 320x240. I used VirtualDub to do this. However, it is now 120meg, it used to be 64 meg...
Anyone know why this is? I came to the conclusion that it was the bitrate.

Anyone know how to view the bitrate of a DivX file?

Thanks

A bitrate calculator should solve your problem.

re

The bitrate calcaltors I have seen just let you calculate the bitrate of a metaphorical file.
Isn't there a way I can load up the movie I actually have, and it can scan the movie and tell me the bitrate?

NO

due to the codecs varying/non-linear compression, one cannot calculate/guess the bitrate out of an existing avi file!

have you tried what enchanter suggested?
a bitrate calc should propose a halfway decent number.

on the other hand you could use nandub instead of vd let nandub take care of bitrate and filesize!?!?

Ah ok, thanks for the help anyway, I'll do what Enchanter said.
