Just use some CBR compression and calculate the bitrate.  That's the
simplest IMHO.

If you want 700Mb video, that will be a function of bitrate and total
time of the movie.

Why not calculate it manually?  Do you want to add this to mencoder:
	bitrate = size / length;
You'd still have to supply the length and size, unless you want mencoder
to scan the length of the movie for you, too.  If you're hell-bent on
not doing it manually, you can just write a script to wrap mencoder.

I'm really confused about what you're trying to do and why.
