I most certainly would *not* do it like this. Not only is the result of 
the lavc mpeg1 encoder not high quality (the encoder is optimized on 
speed). It's not VCD compliant as well.

To create VCD compliant MPEG1 movies use mjpegtools. There is a script 
named "mencvd" in the scripts directory of mplayer, which is really 
helpful.

mjpegtools: http://mjpeg.sourceforge.net/
