Recently got DSL working and downloaded Scary Movie and NOt another Teen movie.

it seems like alot of internet movie d/ls are like 2 files around 160megs each. about 340megs for the entire movie.

My questions is how do they encodes those movies to such small file size and yet maintain a acceptable quality?

can anyone tell me the specfics?

Video: codec, Bitrate, setting, resolutions, single or 2 pass encoding?
audio: codec, bitrate, setting?

I have some old movies and shows in VHS that I want to capture and encode. It would be great to be able to get it to the small filesize and ok quality of what I saw in those movie downloads.

thanks in advance.
