DivX Converter no longer functioning properly

[Messerschmitt]

All of the sudden the DivX Converter is no longer encoding the movies at the designated bitrate.

Until now i set it to default home theather profile, meaning 1300kbps, but all of a sudden, 1-2 weeks after it's last update, it started making movies at 4756 or 3953. Now I uninstalled it and re-installed it, no longer made the auto-update, but still it's not making the bitrate I set, instead of 1300 it's now doing 1285. What's rong with it?

Well, that's an average bitrate. Nothing actually gets encoded at exactly 1300 for example. It could be 1292 - 1308 or something.

Anyway, why not just use VirtualDub to encode your AVIs? XviD is also better quality than DivX, IMHO.
