If you reverse the scale and crop commands (and adjust the parameters)
you will encode faster. It's faster to crop than to scale, so yuo want
to scale the cropped picture.

875MB fits on one CD ? Let me say that you have big CDs ;-)

.avi is a dead end, switch to the .ogm container :
- you can use the vastly superior Vorbis audio codec
- no more a-v sync problems in winblows
- chaptering integrated
- as many audio tracks as you want
- integrate text subtitles into the .ogm (although I had problems on
win* with them)
- split the file in as many part as you want without loosing a-v sync
- etc...

Use Markus' ogmtools for everything :)

If one could integrate vobsub subtitles into the .ogm it would be the
perfect container for DVD backups ...
