All those things have a HUGE effect but we need to know what you're using the mpeg-2 for before we can help you.

If you are going out to DVD then if the DV is say PAL then I assume you're in PAL land (or the other way around if NTSC). In that case you should encode using the DVDA PAL template, don't change anyihing apart from the bitrate if needed to get it to fit onto the DVD.
Shouldn't have any problems.

garo,
Of course you are in PAL land. You should never touch anything NTSC. And Windows Media Player is unreliable when it comes to viewing full screen or not. You can force it by pressing Alt+Enter. But whatever you do you should do a test-burn to DVD (rewritable if you like, that's what I do) and view it on a proper DVD player. Hej då.

How does chaging the bite rate effect the size of the file and how much is "too much" for ex.?
