OK, I figured out how to do it. I've posted a torrent of it in DivX (in reality XviD with "DivX" as its FourCC for compatibility reasons) on The Pirate Bay. (Mods, am I allowed to say that? I know I'm not allowed to post a direct link to a torrent.) Yes, that's allowed.

I'd be interested to know what "compatibility reasons" you've read about that prompted you to change the 4CC?

By the way, I realize I don't really get what you mean by "strange size of 1.1GB". What's strange about it?
Because XviD files should normally be split into CD-sized files for archival, i.e multiples of 700MB (the exception being short TV shows). For a film length of 3 hours, a 2-CD rip would be the most appropriate.

If you want to know more, find the txd2005 rules on Google.
