Codecs have a strange thing called 'bitrate'. Depending on the movie's resolution (compressing a 720x576 movie costs more than compressing a 352x280 one) they represent the tradeoff between 'size' and 'quality'.
In the case of Xvid, there's the 'Profile @ level' (from AS @ L0 - 174x144 - to AS @ L5 - 720 x 576) , the 'Encoding type' (multipass needs more runs but gives a smaller final size than 1-pass witht he same bitrate) and, finally, the Target Quantizer (or bitrate) that range for 'poor quality' to 'high quality'.
For this rasons the codec are called 'lossy'. Because, according to your settings, you 'lose' video quality fo give the final AVI size you approximately choosed.
