Final size too small.....think i know why

[twinux]

SORRY I MEANT FOR IT TO SAY FILE SIZE TOO BIG IN THE SUBJECT!!!

I'm using divx 5.02 with gknot 0.26. The final size of my movie was 860,412 KB when I set it to fit on a single 700MB cd and I think I know why. Below is a quote from the gknot log file:

10:58:16 AM: Started DivX5-First Pass: C:\My Movies\Thirteen Days\thirteendays.avs
3:24:18 PM: Finished DivX5-First Pass. Duration: 4 hours, 26 minutes, 1 second.
3:24:18 PM: Trying to open Log-file.

3:24:28 PM: WARNING: Settings: 261728
3:24:28 PM: WARNING: Counted: 209388
3:24:28 PM: WARNING: Difference: 52340
3:24:28 PM: Correcting Bitrate...
3:24:28 PM: Original Bitrate = 534 k(=1000)Bits/s
3:24:28 PM: Now encoding at 670 k(=1000)Bits/s

If it hadn't corrected the bitrate I believe my movie would have turned out with the expected file size. Can someone tell me why the counted frames differ? And is there a setting to prevent it from recalculating in a situation such as this?

thx for any help

From the difference in frame numbers, and the ratio of settings over actual, I'd say that your film was 23.976fps but your settings had it at 29.997.

Did you force film/IVTC/anything?
