That's the thing. Vcdimager does not complain about the video that
ffmpeg produces. It is not until I put it into my DVD player that I find
it doesn't work. When I say it's not VCD compliant I mean that from what
I can tell is sets the audio bitrate too low (something like 64 instead
of 224). It also does not change the videos width and height from the
original, and I know the VCD standard is quite picky about that. The
problem is that I am not familiar enough with VCD standards or ffmpeg to
know exactly what to do. Although I have been doing lots of research.
