Just a little Idea I had

yes
1536kb/s is the audio bitrate[/quote]

I have double and tripple checked every seting I can think of and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong! I'm trying to use the xvid codec, and what was all that stuff about resoulution?

If you're going by the guides, then it *wouldn't* have any audio input - this shouldn't come as a surprise to you. You export the video from Premiere - just the video. You compress that video file in VirtualDub (you can change the resolution with an avisynth script - the guides tell this in the 'resize' section), to xvid following the 2 pass method (also explained in the guides). You will get a 50 (average) mb xvid file - video only. You then attach the audio again (as the guides explain) by either compressing your wav in vdub on the second pass, or attaching the mp3 to the avi video file in nandub (if you edited from an mp3 - the guides also explain this).

If you were surprised and confused that it didn't register an audio track, I don't think you're reading the same guides as the ones on this site. You attach the audio last (or next to last if you do it on the second pass when compressing to xvid).

Do this - take that uncompressed avi file and write yourself an avisynth script to make the size smaller - the resolution. Look in the section of the guides that tell about 'resize' to see what exact script to use - they give examples of the three main ones used, just pick the one you want. Open that in Vdub, run the first pass with the compression set to xvid (check the settings as the guides tell you to). Do your calculation for the 'wanted' file size if it's bigger than 40mbs (since it's a such a short vid), input that on your second pass (as the guides tell you to - just follow the steps and click the settings they give). Save your xvid video file. Then, if you edited with an mp3, open that video file (the xvid) in Nandub and attach your audio (using direct stream copy on both aud and vid since both are already compressed) - it will give you the finished project which will probably be under 40mbs if you kept the resolution small (720x480 is way too big to get good results at a small file size). If you edited with a wav file, you'll have to compress that - in the second pass as you're compressing the video track. For this, go through the steps the guides give for this. You can also compress the wav in BeSweet and attach an mp3 version via Nandub (so long as your video isn't preceeded by any 'blank' space - the guides also mention this).

What steps in the guides are you following, and on exactly which step is it failing for you?

Uhm...those 2 things don't go togheter. If it's a 3 min. vid. with 1500 kb/s then it should between 35-40 or less no matter which codec you used.

I doubt that's an accurate info. you provided. Are you sure you haven't mistyped one digit in bitrate info. ? What codec is it and how did you aquire such inaccurate info. (so I assume)? So far, I haven't encountered a codec that does something like that.
I believe that refers to the <b>audio</b> bitrate, not the video, based on where it was on the list.

Even though he put it in that place he wasn't really specific but rather confusive. The audio is still less important for filesize than video and even though it's included, it can be removed through VirtualDub later

. The video information should have been more specific. Therefore it was a confusive information

do this:

Export your video WITH the audio as Huffyuv for the video and uncompressed as the audio.

Open your file in virtual dub.
Set your audio to "full processing mode" and select the audio compression you want. (suggested is lame mp3, you should have this if you downloaded the amvapp.)

Follow the guides for the divx compatible xvid compression.

luck.
