  If frameno is depreciated is there another way of down sizing a DVD to 
a specific size (calculating the bitrates)? I think I just might go back 
to the drawing board. Instead of trying to cram a movie onto a single 
CD, just keep to the VCD specs and span it across two CD.

1.0pre6-3.3.5-20050130 on a Gentoo System.

I wouldn't doubt it. I got this from an gentoo HOWTO, which is probably 
an older HOWTO.
