        Maybe it just _feels_ old ;)   Seems that the next release candidate
        has been "real soon now" for a long time.

        Definitely a good idea.    Values in the -10 range are quite
        conservative (I tend to use either -8 or -10).

        Very true - the visual quality is not reduced but the size of the
        file is smaller (sometimes considerably smaller).

        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.

        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. 

        Cheers,
