.SH "DESCRIPTIONS"
.PP
\fBdivxcomp\fR
is a \fBX\fR(7) based
calculator to give an average for
the DivX :-) bit-rates used to encode
avi movies.
.PP
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
