Maybe it just _feels_ old ;) Seems that the next release candidate has been "real soon now" for a long time. > spead things up. I have been using them.

Values in the -10 range are quite conservative (I tend to use either -8 or -10). > It seems that the small (in absolute value) values for n > dos not affect the quality that much. Very true - the visual quality is not reduced but the size of the file is smaller (sometimes considerably smaller). > What does change in CVD compared to SVCD encoding? Only the frame size? The only thing that changes is the encoded frame size. SVCDs use a coded frame size of 480x480 which is expanded on playback to 640x480 (4/3) or 854x480 (16/9) (and yes, 16/9 is valid for SVCDs but the hardware players I've tried do not know about it). CVDs are encoded at 352x480 (which is also a valid DVD size) and get expanded to 640x480 or 854x480 on playback. > a frame size of 672x504.

If you're using 'y4mscaler' to do the scaling then all you need to do is change the "-O preset=SVCD" to "-O preset=CVD" and it will perform the necessary magic for you.
