[MPlayer-users] Fast motion video in low bitrate - with cmp?

[Alexey]

xvid ignores(!) the bitrate in first pass so you have to do a 2pass
encoding. If you want your video to become 700MB then you simply set
bitrate=-700000 and thats it.

But you should also take care of the KB->MB  conversion. 1MB is 1024 KB
so 700MB would be 716800KB but I dont know what the exact size of CDs
is. oh and of course I need to substract the audiosize and the overhead
of the container from this value. You need to find out the size of the
overhead of AVI (i dont know it) and pass it on to xvid (there is an
option for that) so that xvid calculates the birate with regards of the
overhead.
