        Let me guess - you're trying to encode HD material :)

        You realize that mpeg2enc is a [EMAIL PROTECTED] encoder, right? ;)  
The larger
        frame sizes and higher bitrates belong to the higher levels - [EMAIL 
PROTECTED]
        as I recall (reference books are at home).

        1.6.2 had a bug that effectively made it impossible to do what you're
        trying to do (--no-constraints didn't really do anything).  If you're 
        running the cvs version (or the 1.6.3-RC2 release candidate - soon to 
        be replaced by RC3) then you can *force* mpeg2enc to do something 
        it's not designed for (and as the comments say "may expose bugs" ;)) 
        with "--no-constraints".  NOTE also that you'll need to increase the 
        VBV with "-V" - a value of 488 is sufficient up thru HD rates, so 
        "-V 488" (and you'll need to give the same value to mplex later 
        on with '-b').

        Not that I am aware of.

        Cheers,
