  have turned down <option>vhq</option> and all other more
  CPU-hungry options to the minimum.

<listitem><para>
 <emphasis role="bold">cartoon</emphasis>
  Designed to better encode cartoon content, and has no impact on
  speed as it just tunes the mode decision heuristics for this type
  of content.
</para></listitem>

 <emphasis role="bold">chroma_me</emphasis>
  Improves motion estimation by also taking the chroma (color)
  information into account, whereas <option>me_quality</option>
  alone only uses luma (grayscale).
  This slows down encoding by 5-10% but improves visual quality
  quite a bit by reducing blocking effects.
  If you are looking for speed, you should disable this option before
  starting to consider reducing <option>me_quality</option>.

<listitem><para>

  <systemitem class="library">twolame</systemitem>,
  or <systemitem class="library">libavcodec</systemitem>'s MP2 encoder.
  The libavcodec MP2 is far from being as good as the other two libraries,
  however it should always be available to use.
  VCD only supports constant bitrate audio (CBR) whereas SVCD supports
  variable bitrate (VBR) too.
  Be careful when using VBR because some bad standalone players might not
  support it too well.

  <emphasis role="bold">hq_ac</emphasis>
  Activates a better coefficient cost estimation method, which slightly
  reduces filesize by around 0.15 to 0.19%, while having a negligible
  impact on speed.

  This slows down encoding by 5-10% but improves visual quality
