Need bitrate calculator for ReMPEG2

does anyone know where i can download a GOOD bitrate calculator to use with rempeg2? thanks in advance.

Chumboy, From your emphasise on "Good" does that imply you know of a bad one ? I currently use "DVD-R Calc" which I downloaded from this site. I usually knock off 2-3% from the calculated scale factor, but that's only becaue I'me being a bit cautious. I hat doing 20hrs worth of transcoding to find I'm a few bits over the limit. What experiences do you have in this area ? HomerJ

i've backedup 125 flicks so far. 48 of them transcoded/rempeged. i was using a bitrate calculator that always got me within 100meg of the 4.3 limit. i reformatted my hd and lost this bitrate app. it had a "blue star" as an icon on your desktop....don't remember it's name though. just trying to find it...or another that's just as easy. i've tried dvd-r calc.

Did the icon look like this?

MPUcoder... yes...i believe it did. know where i can dl it to see?

Taroth wrote this one, you can still download it from and I mirror it at

The DVD Calculator on this site works great with ReMPEG2
