RE: [Mjpeg-users] DVD to VCD/SVCD splitting on chapters / subtitles

[Joseph B. <jb...@um...>]

Movies always seem to take more than one SVCD, but I use a DVD player with
slots for 3 DVDs so I don't worry about it too much.
Since many movies that I have on tape are ~74 minutes long, I wonder if
it's possible to get good quality converting to a SVCD with the average
bitrate of a VCD (1152).  Is the bitrate that mpeg2enc let's you set from
the command line the maximum bitrate or the average bitrate?

On a side note, does the -d command line parameter to lav2yuv do
anything?  egrepping the code only showed that it sets the variable
param_drop_lsb, but that variable doesn't seem to get used anywhere else.
