No. If at this datarate you have problems, then the data rate is not the 
cause of your problem. I havent done myself a specific test on that,
but I expect that a bitrare of 4000/5000 should not cause any problem.
The DVD specs allows a maximum transfer rate of 10080 kbps,
so 5000 is safe enough. The fact is that enocde2mpeg, if not told
otherwise, does not put any limit on the video bitrate when it 
creates an avi.

In the last period I put more effort in developing Mpeg Mode and I didn't
receive any feedback about DivX Mode.

In the future I'm going to care more about mpeg4 avi.

So if, for the moment, you are having troubles making avi for your
player, this will change.

That's ok. CD-RW have a lower data transfer rate, but with DVD media
there should be no bad surprises.
