Your comments about CCE are not really correct. I made some detailed
tests and it is clear that CCE is much faster, but if you have a picture
with lot of details, CCE generates more JPEG artefacts compared to
TMPGEnc. On the other side, videos made with CCE tend to 'pump' because
of major B-frame degrading.
But this is all a thing of appropriate settings. TMPGEnc tends to be
more configurable, and if you are German, take a look at
http://www.dvd-svcd-forum.de for further comments on TMPGEnc and CCE.
Concerning bbmpeg: Don´t use this one because it lacks of navigation
information that is needed for enabling working Rewind or Forward
functions on DVD/SVCD. Again a german page:
