Hmm...  I looked through it, and saw a few things that look wrong. 
Mainly, you seem to use a keyint of 132 for all three (DVD/SVCD/VCD)... 
I also don't see anything in there to rescale the video to VCD/SVCD
sizes.

I would also consider using perl overkill.  I do the same things with a
much simpler shell-script.
