Dunno how much you've played with the bitrate but you could get that filesize down a fair bit I'd imagine. Most 42 min shows are encoded at around 1300 but that is likely two pass. Anyhow. Thanks for the info. Good to see it's working well for HD material too

Cheers,

Arkay.

Yeah, I could get it smaller but I like the crispness of the look at 2600. I've tried 1300 but it's not quite as sharp. Also I have the Res set at 960:528 for better look. I tried 2400 and it's a little smaller and I can barely tell but there is a small diff on a 32" LCD TV.
Thanks for your time

The file size is more like 750-850MB on avg. it's single pass.

Updated
a 44 minuite show comes out around 600-800MB avg. Depending on the orginal source if it was 1080i or 720p

Works well and looks really good. Nice from avg mpeg size of 5Gig for a 44 minutes HD edited from a hour show to less than a 800MB for XViD.

I haven't used crunchie in sometime, I'm lovin MCE Buddy and I encode all my shows that I'm keeping in DivX 720p comes out around a 1 gig in size for 40 minute show. Looks awesome plus I have it caring over the 6 AC3 audio, as long as you have AC3 Filter installed and configured you will get 5.1 surround. Here's my memcoder.conf file for anyone intrested in how I have mine setup. I still manually remove ads using VideoReDo. I like to edit myself.
