   nor. it won't speed up encoder nor save any bits, but it will speed
   up playback, as reduced image size to be copied to vga card.
   
   ok, if this doesnt speed up encoding/save bytes in the output,
   then maybe when doing two-pass-encoding, you could just skip
   the whole avi-creatin in pass 1, since it should be enough to
   compute the movement informations for divx2pass.log. wouldnt
   that at least save some time when encoding??
