maybe fixing lavf muxing support would be the best idea then, its supposed to 
be a 100% compliant (s)vcd muxer

but it seems some people prefer to rewrite everything, thats fine too, just a 
little sad, as the time could have been spent fixing/improving the existing 
code in libavformat from which many projects and not just mencoder would have 
benefited

anyway, small question, does the new mpeg muxer support anything lavf doesnt? 
iam just asking so i know what to put on my todo list
