Maybe I'm understanding DivX4's workings incorrectly, but I'm hoping some people here can help.
DivX4 2-pass mode creates a logfile in the 1st pass which gets used by the 2nd pass to encode the movie. The only setting you can change on 2-pass second pass is the used bitrate. So shouldn't it be possible to create a program that can calculate the exact size of the final movie at any given bitrate based on the info in the 1st pass logfile?
I know DmirtyR's log editor does something like that, but not quite.
It sure would make fitting a movie on certain numbers of CD's a lot easier.
