I think it will not be easy to study the C files ; I understand the language used (I study C/C++ on my own) but it would be a payoff I could understand like 5000 lines of code myself.

Then the question is perhaps more complex : what will be the most accurate bitrate to use (with XviD or x264 in 2 Pass mode ? Of course you could reply it would be around 800/900 for a movie and a bitrate calculator will help to find the proper value to reach 700 mb or 1400 mb (and same idea for HD Ready or HD Full Blurays) ; I know setting a high bitrate means the quality will - normally - be better, but in that case why not just setting a bitrate of 20000 for each encode and that's all in spite of the large file I might collect. More precisely, isn't each time a bitrate not to exceed (I only refer to high bitrates) ? I wonder for example if setting the bitrate too high (like 50 000 for example) won't give a bad output even though I've read in many places a high bitrate could never be bad.
