File size in AutoGuardian Knot???

Hi Guys!

I am using AGK to convert my home videos to XVID format. The spec. of source video is as follows...

File : 1.00 GB (1011 MB), duration: 0:22:43, type: MPG, 1 audio stream(s), quality: 75 %
Video : 974 MB, 6000 Kbps, 25.0 fps, 720*576 (4:3), MPG2 = MPEG 2 (SVCD/DVD)
Audio : 36 MB, 224 Kbps, 48000 Hz, 2 channels, 0x51 = Mpeg-1 audio Layer 2 [0xc0]

I want to convert the same to XVID. The video in this example is of 22 Min 43 Sec. What is the target size that I should give so that I dont loose quality.

Please tell me as to how much MB should I allot to per minute of video.

Apart from this, I tried to convert the above video in AGK 2.4, alloting it a size of 230 MB with CBR MP3 128 Kbps, but the sound doesnt synchronize with the video. What can I do to overcome this.

Thankyou.

The MBs per minute depends upon users taste.
But I think alloting 8 MBs per minute video is good enough and gives better quality results.
And Convert audio to MPEG layer -3.

Are you sure this problem is because of MPEG Layer 2 that my video has. I have convered a few videos before also with the same audio format, but there was no problem with it. Moreover, I am using CCE SP to convert my videos from DV to MPEG2 and there is no option in the software to convert the audio from layer 2 to 3.
