As Bernhard mentioned the total limit is ~2780 kbps (~2500 for video and 224 for audio). > If you say "much higher rates", what should I be thinking of? Or is this > really very player dependend? Does anybody know of a list of player specs? It is very player dependent. My portable DVD player is allergic to SVCDs that are more than 10-15% higher than the specifications. On the other hand the regular DVD player has played SVCDs that used a bit rate of 4500 kbps (naturally the play time is greatly reduced ;)) > > That is why I use either lav2wav or smil2wav and run the > > mp2enc or toolame command manually.

Hmmm, good question - but I do not think smil2wav will do the resampling from 48000 to 44100. lav2wav simply extracts the audio data to a .wav file for use with mp2enc or toolame. mp2enc will do the necessary resampling. DVD players have to support 48000 audio. If the DVD player can also play the VCD/SVCD format the chances are quite good that 48000 audio will be accepted for the VCD discs - it is not "standard" but it has always worked for me.
