Transcode: wrong final file size

Dear all,

  I'm pretty new to dvd::rip, so this may be an already answered question
but I could not find it within the mailing list. I'm trying to rip a DVD to
Xvid. Everything is fine but the actually avi file size. In the transcode
tab, I've selected the "By target size option" and 2x700 MB. I would expect
the final avi file to be 1400MB. Is my assumption correct?
The automatic calculator makes an estimate of 1399 MB (1226 MB video + 167
MB audio) but when the transcoding is finished I got a file of 1114 MB.

What I'm doing wrong?


Thanks for helping,

antonio
