Thanks Netmask for the information and useful tips.
I'm hoping to put 8 50 minute video's on a single DVD.
I'm thinking that the size to choose is 500 megs for the DivX.
The exact size would be 562.5 megs (8 * 4500) but I might need a bit
of room as the files could be slightly bigger than 462 megs.
