The film is a 2.25gb .mkv foreign film. 154kb subtitles. What I decided to do is hard-code it with subtitles using Xvid compression. Now the problem was at first I think the quantizer was at maximum quality which inflated the original file size to 5.05 I think. My question is how can I really find a way to find the correct range so my encoded comes out about the same size of the original file and not any higher? If I'm typing this wrong please tell me. |

Use the bitrate calculator built in to the codec with two-pass bitrate based encoding. |

Did you do the first pass of the two passes first?
Thats when the stats file is created

hmm no  , I actually opened up Vdub, opened my file. Went to compression, Xvid MPEG-4 Codec, configure. From there where it says "Encoding type" I selected the T="Twopass - 2nd pass" option, then went straight to the calc, and input the numbers. Hmm I feel like I probably missed a huge step. Fairly new to this part of vdub, I usually just converted using direct stream. |

Well... you did kinda miss a step ;-)
Two pass encoding is just that, you do 2 encodings
Twopass - 1st pass
then
Twopass - 2nd pass
The first pass just measures things and stores it in the stats file
The second pass uses that information for compressing so it can hit the right size

d'oh
Ok (: I'm saving my first pass right now should be done in about 30-40 mins. So once this completes and saves I do the 2nd pass just by loading up that stat file correct? |

Yep, you should be good to go after all the info is filled in
For info on setting up the codecs, you can google for guides (there are loads of detailed step-by-step ones), or the other place that's handy is searching on youtube and you can watch the step by step's

hmm I will attempt to lol, but I just tend to use the Xvid codec most of the time. Mostly because I've handled that on other things like camtasia. But again thanks for the help. I'm just waiting on the final product to see how it will turn out. I will probably post it once its done. |

For multi-pass encoding don't use File => Save as AVI..
1) Set the settings for first pass then use File => Queue batch operation => Save as AVI..
2) Set the settings for second pass then use File => Queue batch operation => Save as AVI..
3) Then go on File => Job control => Start

I think it should respect the settings in "Options => Preferences => Dub defaults => Process priority".
I have used it long time ago, I don't remember exactly now.
