Daniel, thank you very much.
This is weird.
MPlayer plays it fine with 160x90 which is the intended resolution
but the Gnome-Preview scales it with this 2.37 aspect ration.
Digging in mpeg2encs Docs I found this:
...
For MPEG-1 mpeg2enc infers the MPEG-1 pixel aspect code from the video 
norm specified and the specified playback aspect ratio.
...
So the given aspect ratio is silently overridden with something else.
Great...

I'll post an other try later.

Regards,
Sebastian
