I need help with xvid encoding settings
I have a Hitachi DZ-MV580 video camera that records directly on 8cm DVD-RAM discs. The files are MPEG-2 (NTSC 29.97 fps) with extension VRO. The camera has several output qualities ? Approx. 20 minutes in Extra Fine Quality Mode (Single Side 704x480, 3-10Mbps VBR)
? Approx. 30 minutes in Fine Quality Mode (Single Side 704x480, 6Mbps CBR)
? Approx. 60 minutes in Standard Quality Mode (Single Side 352x480, 3Mbps CBR
The approx. duration in minutes shown is for one side DVD-RAM - 1.4G

I found that I can process the files with AutoGK/xvid.
I would like to know what type of bitrate/filesize should I use for each case. I usually hear that for movies 800+kbps is decent and there are some considerations depending on resolution bits/pixel. I was using an xvid calculator and was confussed because the file size will only be reduced by 1/2 (based on keeping same resolution)
My idea is to have some decent results, that I have a hard time telling the difference on a 27inches TV+Phillips DVP642 player between original and xvid.
Would somebody that have done the same thing have some recommendation for this particular case?
I've been adviced in another forum that I am better off not converting to xvid and just author mpeg2 DVD. I'll appreciate your comments
