I tried EVERYTHING..! I don't find the way to compress it

Look, one lossless is pretty much as good as another. The end result isnt significantly different.

None of that matters once you've got a lossless export.
If your full-quality version is 640x480, and you've removed all the interlacing, then nothing's stopping you from resizing to 512x384, 480x352, or even 320x240 with AVISynth.

Be sure to follow this guide.

Also is there static/noise in the video? Video noise is very difficult to compress with codecs.

Here is the trouble :S I worked on 720x480! Maybe if I render the video in more small dimension something would change?

If your full-quality export is 720x480, and you've removed all the interlacing, then there's STILL nothing stopping you from resizing to a 4:3 square pixel resolution like 512x384, 480x352, or 320x240 with AVISynth.

But I must emphasize that what you export from Premiere should be the same size as your project settings.

2nd-pass encoding encodes almost or exactly like the 1st-pass, regardless the input value of filesize. I, P and B-frames are not distributed around the larger quantisizers except 2 and 4, according to XviD status.

If the above is your issue, then I think the problem is caused by the invalid stats file.

A stats file becomes invalid when it is corrupted or its attributes has been changed (to hidden, or read-only). XviD will not be able to overwrite a stats file if the file is 'locked' or its attribute is changed.

To resolve this, all you have to do is either create a new stats or delete the invalid stats, and always redo the encode from the 1st-pass.
