Well, yes i can, but i want just mpeg2+mp3 stream, not svcd, and it's a
little easier to run transcode then to hack this script ;)

It's based on bbmpeg and can encode mpeg1/2.

Well, time isn't the point for me now - it was said in ffmpeg mailing
list that using some lavc options to gain quality can slowdown encoding
up to ten times... I don't think that encoding to mpeg2 with 2-4mbit/s
bitrate will be much slower. There is no point to use mpeg2 for lower
bitrates, in my opinion.
