	It's been so long since I've run what was 1.6.1.92 that I don't know
	exactly what the difference in speed was.

	Actually most of the speed up was done by changing the defaults to
	omit B frames ("-R 0"), leave '-I' as 0 (which is the default in
	ffmpeg - that's one place it gained a lot of speed) instead of 1 and
	a few other minor things.

	I've done a few CVDs (352x480 instead of 480x480) and for casual 
	viewing they are great and allow for much longer play time on a single
	disc.  I managed, finally, to get a 90minute concert onto 1 CD-R.  For
	computer playing that needs to stay within a 2GB avi size limit the
	CVD resolution will be of great value too.   And the encoding at 352x480
	is quite fast.

	Cheers,
