I converted a movie from widescreen (1:1.85) to SVCD and found that the conversion with a bitrate of 1650 looked like a 4:3 movie at 2200.My theory is, because the 16:3 has 30% black static areas, the overall bitrate would be 30% higher than set.Am I correct ?

This is the primary reason that I crop off the letter boxes on wide-screen movies captured from Cable TV - then add them back in - this ensures that those black boxes are PURE black and contain no noise that would steal unecessary bandwidth thus leaving more for the actual movie in the B frames. It becomes even more useful in VCD where you only have ~1150kbit/sec "budgeted" to distribute.
As Churchill famously predicted when Chamberlain returned from Munich proclaiming peace in his time: "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor, and you will have war."
