At the time I wrote this I didn’t mentioned the calculator in DIF4U (/Utilities/DVDCalc). But I think it’s worth posting this since you don’t need DIF4U if you are using the “Getting the best out of CCE” guide…So, you may decide witch calculator you like most.
Although I’m new in DVD converting using CCE, I’m sick already of the yellow notes an MS Excel for bitrate and file size calculations. I’m not new in JavaScript, so, I’ve wrote a simple max. bitrate and file size calculator, you can use with doom9/robshot’s “getting the best out of CCE” guide.
It can be found over here:
http://automovie.50free.org/calculator/
Some explanations:
You only have to enter the data in the upper left box.
Since JavaScript’s can’t write and save files, you have to copy the log if you want to save the results.
I couldn’t find a decent way to get the audio bitrate, so I made up a way to calculate that bitrate by dividing the filesize of a track by it’s time.
For the maximal size of the m2v/mpv file I used the rule of thumb from the guide (size of all streams * 1.05 < 4.700.000.000 B).
