Thanks for those results. I am currently trying Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas with an RC Averaging Period of 85000 (for 170000 frame movie), 2 pass 2cd encode. Only B-frames are enabled, lanczos to 704, pretty barebones. Bitrate 1520, so pretty high (by my standards?). I'll let you know how it comes out.

EDIT: Okay, I did this last night. It came out beautifully, with an average quantizer somewhere in the neighborhood of 2.6. This is probably the highest quality DivX I have ever encoded, but that may be more due to the fact of a 75% compressibility test, 1500+ bitrate, and lanczosresizing. No filters, just B-Frames, I'm not sure if the RC Averaging had anything to do with it. I suppose I should have tested it by encoding the entire movie at 2000, but I was in a hurry to get the VOBs off the drive.
