Have you tried with current mpeg2enc yet ? I have converted two movies 
lately with it and it looks very nice (-K kvcd/ SVCD standard 
resolution, 50min/CD ). Using -K tmpegenc is possible too (using tmpeg 
mpeg2 matrix). DVD with a bitrate of 3000+ should be really nice. 
Further "requant" might be usefull too. Anyway, i guess tosvcd is more 
usefull for creating svcd, then transcode, and it has a lot shorter 
dependecy chain. If tosvcd could be integrated in your plugin it would 
be cool, i would use it ASAP.
