I did RTFM, and now I see it does work, but not with the SDL fullscreen 
mode (brightness and contast). Any ideas about this one? DivX 3 works 
fine adjusting these values in fs mode with SDL.

Oh? I find it to be at least 2ce as good, especially with fast moving 
scenes. As for the 750kbit and 850kbit, I would think that this would 
totally rely on how long your film is, ans not just a fixed variable for 
the length of a CD. Or are you aiming at stating that when you try get a 
650MB cd it produces a file of 550MB or so?
