Oversized Files

Hi im rather new to Xvid, im using virtualdub and the settings shown in the updated doom9 guide, (AS 5) plus its in cartoon mode, i chose the target size to be 647329 Kb but the final file was 1 gig. How can i get the final file size closer to the target. Plus which options affect the file size the most. Cheers

How you do encoding? 2-pass method? Then specify your 2-pass settings. Note that desired size can only be obtained if you do a 2-pass encoding.1-pass CBR can also obtain desired size with some error.

Sorry, im using 2 pass and heres my settings AS@5 H.263 quarterpel GMC Bvops 2,1,1 Closed GOV Motion search 4.high VHQ 1 Chroma motion I-Frame interval 300 Cartoon mode Trellis Quant Target size 647329 Everything else as standard Im aiming for 1 700 mb cd encode here, but if the quality isnot good enough i don't mind doing a 2 cd.

I just had same problem for no reason. Nothing helped until I hit "load defaults". Strange thing.... I actually checked and the statsfile wasn't open at all (the path was good, I even set it again...). Radek

same problem x_x doing a two pass, everything at default except the end credits at 50% of quality (set in both passes), and what I obtain is a >200MB greater video file. (this is my second try with the 1.0b, the previous was allright)

yeah i have the same problem. Oversized files in 2-pass mode. i basicly use default settings, with Search-6 VHQ-4 GMC no-zones. Can't think what other relative info right now, bout to hit the sack.
