(note : you can see in the guide that it has a 44 min movie and the expected size is... 800 Mb ! Even if this expected size is completly false (encoding at CQ=60 -> very very low !))
2/ the guide use MPEG2 where MPEG1 is far better. Unfortunaly (for the guide man) it use TMPGEnc2.59 that is the ONLY version that is bugged in MPEG1, and that is why you MUST'NT use this.
3/ the guide completly forgot to say that audio engine of tmpgenc is very bad comparing to headache or besweet.
Conclusion : this guide is a crap.
That is why you should use a more "harder" way, as we do, if you want to obtain the best quality for your KVCDs

I quite agree with you there about this guide Dialot i tried it once when i first found out about KVCD and this site and when to convert an 90Min AVI DivX movie and i think the movie ended up being nearly 2 Gigs in size the guide is to basic and doesnt really get to complex stuff like file size predicting and seperately encoding the audio like you said.
I like Black Prince's guide also nice and easy to follow.
Razorblade had a good graphical guide not sure if its still available but the only problem with his guide is be careful as it was a guide for DivX to KVCD yet the script he put on his guide was the MA script which is for a DVD source as i found out through trial and error as Tok was making MPegs way over the 800 Meg, but thanks to Dialhot he helped me out and i use his excellent V3 script for DivX conversions.
