Hi, 

According to the spec[1][2], DVD supports a whole spectrum of frame sizes,
ie:

MPEG-2, 525/60 (NTSC): 720x480, 704x480, 352x480, 352x240
MPEG-2, 625/50 (PAL): 720x576, 704x576, 352x576, 352x288

However, only 1/4 of them are supported by transcode, ie, the 720x one.

I really wish that all valid frame sizes are supported. Especially, the
352x240/288 one. I'll post my fighting to get that working with current
transcode in another thread. 

Please don't laugh at / ignore the "pathetic" 352x240/288 frame size. If
the source is of that size, there is no point to stuff the DVD with 
artificial zoomed content without any information gain. To me, that's 
only a waste of space. Using the 352x240/288 frame size would be just fine.

If no objection, I don't mind roll up my sleeves and do the initial coding. 
(Just checked out the latest CVS head, and everything seems fine...)

I proposed that we '-t dvd-vcd' as its standard type name, as what tovid is
using[3]. Also, how shall we name the 704x frames?

Thanks for your consideration and waiting for your suggestion...
