Typo, and fixed missing word too many avc encoding! :)

  a file with audio, even if you will be encoding and muxing audio
  separately later.
  Though it may work in ideal cases, using <option>-nosound</option> is
  likely to hide some problems in your encoding command line setting.
  In other words, having a soundtrack during your encode assures you that,
  provided you don't messages such as
  <quote>Too many audio packets in the buffer</quote>, you will be able
  to get proper sync.

  If you plan on downscaling dramatically, you can extract and encode
  only one of the two fields. Of course, you will lose half the vertical
  resolution, but if you plan on downscaling to at most 1/2 of the

  progressive 30000/1001 frames per second file. The procedure is to use
  <option>-vf field</option>, then crop
  <link linkend="menc-feat-telecine-footnotes">[1]</link> and scale
  appropriately. Remember that you will have to adjust the scale to
  compensate for the vertical resolution being halved.
