Hi,

Uh oh, I hope I can tell you.
First of all, I'm using Linux and it took me a long time to find
something to make an mpeg file. Then I found mpeg2encode:

                           mpeg2encode / mpeg2decode
                           =========================
               MPEG-2 Encoder / Decoder, Version 1.2, July 19, 1996

I don't know which parameter to change... Do you know?
