question about burning .divx files

I have about 30 episodes of a show, that are in divx format, and have a bitrate of 1608 and are 24-bit. I'm currently using Nero to make the DVD (its easy and its one of the few ones I know how to use) and I have it set to auto. Now because its set to auto, its making the bitrate 8000. I'm wondering if I can change its bitrate to 1600, and now lose any picture quality, since the original source is at 1600? By lowering the bitrate to 1600, I can put 5x more episodes on one disk. However I have plenty of disks, so space isn't a problem. I'm just trying to be the most efficient.
 
Just leave it on auto. DivX is a compressed format, while DVDs are uncompressed. You'd be losing a lot of quality if you lowered the bitrate that much, or at least that's how I understand it. You could try test burning the same episode twice, once with lowered bitrate, and once at the full one, and then see if you can tell the difference.
