divx encoding

[calmecrzy]

I have the movie Apoclaypse Now and its about 3 hours along and i want to encode it but the most i can encode is 355 kbits with specs like under 700 mb and alright sound is there any where i can encode higher like 600kbits and get better quality and sound and the output file would be under 700 mb???

355kbps * 3h = 470 MB (without sound)
600kbps * 3h = 790 MB (without sound)

That's simple mathamatics and no program can change that. simply burn the movie on 2 CDs and you can use the whole 1400 MB. For a DVD-Ripp I would never go lower than 800kbps and that still is not DVD-like-quality.

thanks for the advice i ll try it out

well, sometimes, ANY ONLY sometimes, if u increase the res, the bitrate goes high but then it would be > 700MB.

use 2cdrip

or cut end crdits off and start trailers off if possible
