Thank you. Turning it into an SVCD file wouldn't be very difficult, I
don't think, though it would involve modifications in many areas of the
program.

Major ones that come to mind:
1) Adding config options to output to SVCD (should be settable as
default, and on a per-file basis).
2) Modifying makesegments and makevideo to give the right parameters to
mencoder for output to SVCD.
3) Testing (and re-testing) the genbframes routine with the new output.
That was one of the hardest parts of the code to get right.

In short, it wouldn't be easy. In fact, it might require a complete
overhaul of the code, but it could be done. As to whether or not it's
worth it, well, that's a whole different argument :)

Dunno that I do them well, but I do manage to do them adequately. Thank
you, though.

Sorry if this reply seems off somehow. It's getting kinda late, and I'm
kinda sleepy. Most definitely gotta get to bed.
