Yes, this is exaclty what I'm after.. As per my next comment, the rips are looking very good at the current rate and there would be planty of room for the ac3 stream in the 2 pass 1400. I don't mind making my own customer plugin, I don't see the need for using more than one codec, so there's plenty of room on my screen if i remove the divx options. > > > > Also, i've noticed the final encode is coming quite a bit under size.. > > Maybe it was just my test disk..

(note 834 seems unusally small, maybe it crashed? haven't had time to check completeness. same vid came in at 646m on 700 xvid high. 99 min vid came in at 1.1G on 1400 xvid high. same vid 590m on 700 xvid high. 104 min vid came in at ~1040 on 1400 xvid high, same vid 606 on 700 xvid high. Haven't check teh top one, but the other bottom 2 are look *very* good. So maybe the codec is maxing out..
