I do not think 1.6.1.92 is that old. If I am not wronk, it has been
released by the end of November.

Those options are there in the 1.6.1.92 release and they really
spead things up. I have been using them. I have also been using
the "-E n" with n being a value between -15 and -4, in order
to get smaller files. Do you think this is a good idea?
It seems that the small (in absolute value) values for n
dos not affect the quality that much.

What does change in CVD compared to SVCD encoding? Only the frame size?
What I have been doing for NTSC SVCDs is bring the frame size to the
aspect ratio 4:3 by adding black borders at the top and bottom of the
video image, and then resize it to 480x480 while setting the aspect
ratio to 4:3. For example, if the movie is 672x272 (2.47:1), I add
black borders at the top and at the bottom of height 116 each, giving
a frame size of 672x504. Then I resize it to 480x480 and set the
aspect ratio to 4:3. What would be the procedure for a CVD target
in this example?
Regards.
