I know about you trythil, you only need the VOBs and a TOC file since you can make one in Transcode's mpeg3toc program, but for us Windoze users, it's more complicated.

For distro, I usually do a 2-pass encode, or I may try Quant 2 XviD for my next distro, I'm gonna run a test.

well i dont have oodles of hard drive estate to screw around with, so huffyuv is out of the question (sadly....) i need to save up and get a 120gb 7200 rpm hard disk. im workin with a 40gb 5400 rpm at the moment (not too happily though)
I dont want absolutely perfect quality, but then i dont want eye-watering uselessly encoded crap on screen either. Whats the most efficient settings for DivX 5, in terms of Size vs Quality? When do the data rate settings become superfluous? thats all i need to know, so i can go from there.

well 500kbps is less than most downloaded footage :roll:
something more like 1500-2000 kbps or above is what you'd want in that case :\ although I dont see why the mjpeg switch wont work

I'd say doing a 100% quality encode would give you the most bang for your buck.

but youve neglected the SIZE issue. As a student, i dont have very deep pockets, so i need to know how to do this without totally fucking the videos or my hard drive up.

No, I haven't. 100% quality encode shouldn't make terribly large files... thats why I didn't recommend a quantizer 1 encode. If you can't even handle 100% quality... well... i'd look into deleting important crap from your HD O_o
