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.
