Ok then... Using "original" XvID Codec not that half ass hack version that came out later, it fuken' sucks for options.

Video
One Pass - Quality Mode 70% to 84% (depending on source)
Very High - Motion Search Precision.
H.263 Quantization
1/10 Min/Max - I Frame
Forced Optimization.

Audio
22050 Hz @ 56 kb/s to 64 kb/s (depending on source)

Does that help?

Interesting that you should use the 'normal' Xvid codec. I've got a fair amount of experiencing encoding to Xvid though I find the SmartMovie xvid codec not too bad for the P900.

With the settings that you used, what kind of file sizes do you get?

I use the following settings ive encoded some guyver episodes and some south park and family guy

22 min ish episodes come out at 29 ish meg

Video Settings

Landscape
Reduce Frames (ticked)

XVID Encoder (there are no options to change)
Bitrate 144 Kbps

Audio Enabled and force mono at

16000 hz and 40 kbps with the lame codec

volume boost 160%

This make smooth decent quality movies that are not too big

Any tips on optimising this setup baring in mind i dont want dvd quality with dolby digital lol just decent watchable movies that are not too large.

Well I can get a 2 hour movie into 120mb or less with awesome quality. Every file encodes differently in size depending on initial encoding. I have seen other encoders notice a size difference as well when they try the original authors codec as well.

I have never used the one that came with smart movie, I am refering to the standard XVID codec I already had on my system, the hacked ones are the modified version of that codec that didnt work well at all.

I dont know who's version is included with SM, I didnt install it because mine works just fine

@ BTTF, I think it's because he is using Mono. In Stereo there is a file size difference and it will also hamper the playback quality of the video as the p800 is trying to decode both a&v streams. I am sure the p900 faired better in that department.

For me I would say VirtualDub but that may be no good to you as it's not that straight forward to use.

I normally encode (transcode) from an .avi so it's more straight forward that ripping from a DVD. I get very results using the 2-pass method and leaving most of the Xvid 1.1 settings at default (no Bframes, Qpel etc)
