That script takes far too long and doesn't use mplayer's new
mpeg capabilities. Either use mplayer's native support for
mpeg (which is at its start at this point I think, only CVS,
etc) or use transcode.

This, for example, for a 16:9 widescreen svcd:
#!/bin/bash
transcode -i "$1" -V -y mpeg2enc,mp2enc -F 4,"-4 2 -2 1" -Z 480x480 -E 44100 -b 224 --export_asr 3 -o "$1"
mplex -f 4 "$1.m2v" "$1.mpa" -o "$1.mpg"

Takes about 80min to convert 44min of XviD input video on a P4 2.4GHz. mencvcd took
the whole night.
