Okay, first semi-successful svcd created. *8v)

Two buts.

1.) The audio is a little out of sync on cursory review.  I played the
svcd on a Sony single disc DVD player.  It was also Southpark, so audio
sync is a relative phenomenon.  Probably not the best choice of samples,
oh well.

2.) mplex crashed in the following manner, any clues Chris?  I only got
about 200+ megs.  But it did play on the dvd.

Thanks for using myth_export!

Some initial googling says mpeg2enc may have exceeded the allowed
bitrate.  I'll try again with a lower bitrate.  This may also explain
the audio lag problem.
