Or simply use --cbr and let the encoder vary the -q automatically.
Specify the bitrate that will generate the desired size and the
encoder will do the rest for you. Replace "-q N" with "--cbr" to
use the specified bitrate, the encoder will automatically vary the
effective -q for you without 4 or 5 passes. No need to use transcode
(unless you want to ;)) - I didn't know it had a magic quality option
<grin>
Experience should build after after a while though - shouldn't take
more than 1 or 2 test encodings (representative portion of the
entire video) to get the parameters "good enough".
Or just set -q down to 3 and be done with it :)
