XviD Bigger than VOB

[Asrial]

I have a VOB that's just under 1gb and when I convert it to XviD, it's coming out at 1.10gb.

The only thing I'm doing to it in AviSynth is cropping and Kernel Deinterlace (default threshold).

The XviD settings I'm using are: VHQ 4, Motion Search 6, B-Frames 3, and Chroma Motion. That's about it on the main stuff. I'm doing the '2 Pass, 1st Pass' result.

I did an encode of another project that has similar content to this one (from the same DVD) and it came out less than the VOB size using the same exact settings.

Ideas?

It is well possible that deinterlacing alone adds so much picture information that your first pass grows larger. Have you tried a compressiblity check with interlaced encoding in XviD? (Just being curious). And BTW, you still can hope for very nice quality at half the VOB's size in 2nd pass.

Yes, you do have to. If you use XviD's interlaced mode it will encode the source just like it is, i.e. interlaced. It's a good solution if you plan on watching the result on a TV-set.
