[MEncoder-users] Create VCD compliant mpegs with mencoder 1.03

[Oliver Hummel]

Hi there
I am using MEncoder 1.0pre3 on MorphOS (Unfortunatelly also the latest
available Version) My Question, is it possible to create vcd compliant mpegs
with mencoder? This is my commandline for encoding:

mencoder "Laptop:Programme/eMule/Incoming/Die w„ächter Teil 3 Ein Reiter In Der Sonne By Freya.avi" -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts
acodec=mp2:abitrate=224:vcodec=mpeg1video:vbitrate=1152:vhq:trell:aspect=4/3:vrc_maxrate=1152:vrc_minrate=1152 -af resample=44100:0:2 -srate 44100 -vop scale=352:288 -of mpeg -o backup:wächtertest.mpg

As you can see, i also adjusted min and max rate to get a cbr instead of
vbr to be 100% percent vcd compliant. But if i try and generate a vcd with vcdimager out of such a stream, it still is padding the stream. 
So i guess there is something sector related here, but is it possible to fix
it? And as I mentioned above, I am using MorphOS for this, so it is no
option to use other Tools, as they may simply not exist ;-)

The Problem with such autopadded streams is, that a) it is unpredictable how
big the the streams will be afterwards (the above example gave together with
a second episode a total vcd size of 780 MB instead of the expected 690) and
b) those streams may be played as normal track, but not if you try to make a
short movie as vcd menu.
