Hi, 

sorry then, even better. There were some complaints about transcode and 
the old two-pass and I later tested with transcode and new XviD-Vbr
lib, but maybe I wasn't using the latest version or wrong parameters. 

So, we won't need the method to ensure target filesize. Fine.
How about CBR, could that be improved? Or should we concentrate 
on other tasks?
