Sure!  Here this setting works for MPEG-2 stream and will give underuns and
overruns if the frames Aren't 512x384...  I've tweaked it so...  you might have
to tweak it yourself for your settings...

The things I've discovered you can tweak are:
/* horizontal_size */
/* vertical_size */
/* bit_rate (bits/s) */
/* vbv_buffer_size
/* display_horizontal_size */
/* display_vertical_size */

Set you Sizes and then tweak the bit_rate for a Maximum of quality (don't look
at the result just give a very big number) and then adjust the vbv_buffer_size
so there is no underruns or overruns...
overruns means the bit_rate is too high for the vbv_buffer  and underrun means
the opposite...

I don't know if what I said is true...  I've asked a lot of question about it
and nobody seemed to know it...  the mpeg2encode website is not working so, I
guessed it all by myself...

Here take a look at my movie.par I will actually use for this IRTC Animation
round...

Hope this helps,
