When using gknot, there is an option displaying your average bitrate when you select either the divx3 or divx5 codec in the codec area. For example, let's say my average bitrate is 1608 kbit/s, does that mean when entering my average bitrate into the helix producer 804kbit/s and I'll still get the same quality?????
I would't say that.

The fact is, RV9 is definetaly better at low bitrates, but it is incapable to give dvd quality. It smooths out the details even in 2cd rips.
