Hi Nico
    Thanks for the reply. I will try your patch. In the meanwhile I was 
looking in the file ffmpeg/libavformat/mpeg.c and I found the following line 
at the bottom of that file:
    av_register_output_format(&mpeg1system_mux);
    av_register_output_format(&mpeg1vcd_mux);
    av_register_output_format(&mpeg2vob_mux);
    av_register_output_format(&mpeg2svcd_mux);
    av_register_output_format(&mpeg2dvd_mux);

Does that mean that the functionality I require is already there even 
without your patch? I will try your patch later today.

Thanks again
VJ
