Have you really gotten mpeg2encode to work?  I was never able to get it to 
generate an mpeg2.

Many others have said they got it to work but when i said "Show me the PAR", 
it turns out they were generating mpeg1.  If you have a working .PAR file
for an mpeg2, i would love to see it.

If you are generating mpeg1, i think mpeg_encode makes much nicer mpegs.
(I am currently churning a 702x512x3100 mpeg1. http://www.buckosoft.com/bsac/ )

I have also hacked mpeg_encode to accept png as an input.  If you like 1.5b,
you should try mine...
