how do I alter the divx or xvid codec bit rates?

[sfag]

I'm using the built in transcode function. The compressed files are still a little big. How can I adjust the bit rates.

[gEd]

edit the config.xml file in notepad. there is a section called <CustomFFmpegConversions>

for xvid, alter -qscale 5. qscale is the constant quality setting. Increase number to lower quality and reduce fle size. constant quality a the name suggests is designed to ensure the quality is fixed, rather than the filesize. If you want a fixed target size, you will need to change this to 2 pass VBR encoding.

for dixv, you need to alter the bitrate value of -b 1000k
