DivX Bitrate - What rate seems to be a good comprimise?

[Hardcore]

Trying to figure out where to set the bitrate in order to have the best comprimise of quality/file size. Any suggestions? Right now I have a 640x480 video that's like 1 minute 10 seconds and 40MB. Need some compression help :|

Use XviD :( a little over 2000 (I think that's what I used for kabuki's avi, don't remember)

I'm not really an expert on compression :/

I've heard anything over 1500 bitrate in DivX is useless but I use 2000 just to be on the safe side...I think most people use 2000 too...

Get with the times... XviD and OGG is where it's at,

DivX compression since recent update outdid my up-to-date Xvid codec in size and quality. As for Bitrates, my first avi was at 900 and everyone complained, I suggest 2000 if u want a small avi, and 3000 if u want top notch quality.

--1000 = Poor

1000-1250 = Decent

1250-1800 = Good

1800++ = Excellent

i disagree with that... i do my original render at the max (4000) and then downsample from there, and i've noticed a difference even between, say, 4000 and 3000, not like a world of difference but there is a faint jpeg effect.
