re-encoding ALWAYS loses quality.  artifacts turn into more artifacts. 
It's already bad enough going from nuv mpeg4 into svcd mpeg2.  I'm
patient and can wait for the non-transcode cutlist thingie.  And maybe
someday I'll figure out how to get the edl stuff working properly.  I
just don't know enough about encoding svcd's using the linux tools (the
windows ones like TMPGEnc are sadly WAY ahead in that game)
