        As Bernhard mentioned the total limit is ~2780 kbps (~2500 for
        video and 224 for audio).

        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 ;))

        I believe the bitrate will be at the default/standard 224 kbps.
        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.

        Cheers,
        Steven Schultz
