I'm converting Movies over from my DVD's and I'd like to get them to a size to fit on a 512mb card, what are some good settings to use? I usually will go to 20 for video. Do you all use the mono audio or Stereo. I tried the stereo setting and for some reason I get a slight worble sound to the audio. My mono conversions have sounded great. I'm playing back on Betaplayer. Does it make a huge difference to use Xvid and 2 pass ?
I do a lot of DVDs with PocketDivX. Here are the settings I usually use:
Video 12 (248)
Audio 4 (64kbs stereo)
Boost the sound ( I usuallly use 25%)
Brightness +6
2 pass encoding
Mind you, this will fit MOST movies onto a 256 card, and as always YMMV.

I typically use:
Video - 7
Audio - 3 or 4
Framerate - 25fps
Dimensions - 320x240 (320x176 for widescreen)
Sound - 10%
Type - AVI with MP3 Audio Stream
Makes a file about 250Mb in size with a typical movie. Video and audio a great! It is also really fast compared to other programs.

what is the benefit of using 2 pass in advanced options?

Better quality - although sometimes, it's not really worth the extra effort. It can help remove the blocky artifacts in fast-moving scenes, but the compromise is more time spent encoding, and a larger file size.

ah ok - how much larger (typically)? a few percent or something painful? just curious - i'll experiment around to see what i like. i've been playing around with PDE and Auto Gordion Knot to see which i like better... so far def seems like AGK gives you a lot better quality w/ the same size (found a great tutorial if anyone's interested).

It's hard to provide an exact figure on this. It depends on the length of the film, what's in the film (action-packed, or slow documentary, etc.) and what bitrate you're encoding at, among others.
The best way is to experiment with a number of different videos.
