When I tried crankingthe birate down into the 1.5Mb/s and 352x240 VCD
range the picture turned into total crap. As in much worse than one would
expect from VCD.

If you snip the commercials a one hour TV show fit in a CD at SVCD
resolution just fine. And it looks better.
But remember, the ivtv project is young and rocking on at warp speed.
They just announced first light out of the video out plug on the PVR-350.
The card is capable of encoding VCD since it can do it under that less
capable platform that Hauppauge keeps wasting time with. :) So if you
really need VCD, be patient.
