Ok. For example: source file(s): 3.5 GB, target file: 1.7 GB, although it
was meant to fit on one CD. Here are the logs:

*** Analyzing Source Stream for presence of AC3 Stream ...
*** No AC3 Audio found - Output AVI will be DivX4+mp3...
*** WARNING: VBitRate drops below specified Minimum Value in MVR_xxx !
*** Encoding Anyway Using Lower Bitrate of 669 kbit/s !
*** Add further Media Combinations to Config File or use shorter
*** Source Video ;-) to avoid this warning ...
*** The Video has a length of 7831 seconds.
*** We will encode with a Video Bitrate of 669 kbit/s and try to
*** fit 1 file(s) on 1 CD(s) with a Size of 785 MB.
*** INFO: Source Video is 480 x 576 Resolution ...
*** Aspect Ratio 2 detected - No Scaling !
*** Starting Encoding for File
*** File has 195793 frames ....
