clarification of vcd buring question, please help

[phantasystar]

ok from what i've read it seems that the errors people are having in burning viewable vcds comes from not encoding the mpeg file correctly. i guess the questions that need to be answered are:
1)depending on weither you do pal or ntsc what should be the frame rate?
2)if the frame rate isn't "correct" for the pal/ntsc type will the vcd play?
3)what should be the bit rate for a vcd film? a svcd film?
4)is there a way to full proof test a mpeg file to see if it will burn correctly so as to be viewable?
5)is there anything else thats neccessary that i haven't asked?

thanks a lot

All your answers are to the left under "what is." You'll find the proper framerates and samples.

You need 23.976 for film, 25 for pal and 29.97 for regular NTSC.
