    sounds like when you have deleted the part of the movie and saved it it has saved to the resolution of the divx software you have e.g when converting a dvd2divx you make the resolution of the movie the higher the resolution the higher the quality so go into the divx software and lower it

    Well, if you were to take out a section containing no keyframes, and the encoder puts in a keyframe where the cut is, you could in theory get a larger file.

    I'm not saying this is likely, but its possible.
