Xvid4PSP offers MPEG2 PAL and NTSC format options, with encoding options 
like "1-pass 8mbit", "2-pass 8mbit", "CBR 9.2mbit", and "copy" which 
presumably does no reencoding if your source file is already MPEG2 
compatible.

I would expect those would give the same results as a commerical DVD.

But for uploading to YouTube, I would use a more modern codec like xVid 
(which they accept) that will give you smaller files for the same quality.
