Bitrate mode is one of:

-bv1

<bitrate>

1-Pass

-b1q

<quantizer>

1-Pass, quality-based

-bvn1

<bitrate>

Multipass, 1st pass

-bvnn

<bitrate>

Multipass, nth pass

Bitrate

is an integer value between 0 and 16,000 specifying the number of

kilobits per second.

Quantizer

is floating point value between 1.0 and 31.0 specifying the fixed

quantizer to be used.

Log file:

-log

<filename>

Filename

is the log file name, fully qualified with a pre-existing path and

enclosed in parentheses. The default is

“C:\DivX.log”
