DESCRIPTIONS

       divxcomp  is  a  X(7)  based  calculator to give an average for the DivX :-) bit-rates used to encode avi
       movies.

       DivX :-) 4.x is extremely difficult to calculate as the sizes of the video vary depending on  the  amount
       of  movement and colors, so this gives an average. Your results may be higher or lower than the specified
       size! A 2 pass rip should normally give much better quality than a 1 pass rip, and mostly also produce  a
       smaller  file  size.  It  is  however impossible to calculate this accurately, so an intelligent guess is
       made.

       I will not take responsibility for any miscalculations or damages caused by this.

BUGS

       None known.
