OK, i have been for the past few months, encoding to 480x480.

I was wondering a couple of things-

using certain filters, i can encode in this res w\o blocks up to 1 hr 50 min fine onto 1 cd but if i encode to 720x480, how much more would it be capable of making blocks sooner. Like, how low can a bitrate possibly be w\o usin filters before blocks start occuring?

Also, whats up with these dvd temps in tmpgenc?

Are these temps considered xsvcd?

Cuz it would be nice to encode to 720x480 and still make it playable in standard only svcd format dvd players, but i wont even test that until i know what REAL format these dvd temps are.
