MPEG2 Encoding instead of DivX would be cool (for DVD-
R or SVCD)

    This is more difficult than it should be, because MPEG2
    encoding with mencoder is somewhere between impossible and
    very touchy. Until support fro encoding to MPEG2 improves,
    this is doing to be far down on my wishlist.

    In the meantime, you can always use a program like
    KAVI2SCVD to turn the AVIs into (S)VCD images.

    dvdrip uses transcode which can do MPEG2 encoding. The choice for me is
    therefore to either switch to transcode, which I'd rather not do (I'm trying
    to get rid of transcode in QuickRip altogether, as there are several good
    transcode-based rippers and none for mencoder which I prefer), or to use
    a combination which would be messy, or to wait for mencoder to finally get
    the support.

    Update on this... it is now going into QuickRip, so in the next release it
    should be there :)

    Is it possible to also implement mpeg2 transcoding (not
    re-encoding ?)

    There are windows apps like dvd2one (dvd2one.net) which
    transcode a DVD by lowering the bit rate to fit on a DVD-R,
    in 15 minutes (instead of a few hours to re-encode).

    I'm not sure... if transcode supports it, then yes. Maybe you'd like to find
    out? If you find transcode can, tell me how here and I'll look at
    implementing it.
