       divxcomp - Calculate approx. size for ripped avi movies

SYNOPSIS

       divxcomp

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.
