I often find myself wanting to use the maximum bitrate possible and thus ending up with cd's of sizes like this: 735MB, 735MB, 530MB. I'd much rather have equal sized CD's so the edges of my burnt disks can be handeled with less care. I mean, sure I could change the bitrate tab to make 3 CD's of size 667MB in this case, but that number would change for each movie.
So here's what I propose(something for dvd2svcd to work on when he gets some of that free time we all wish he had :)):
A second bitrate calculation method where you just specify the number of CD's you want, regardless of bitrate. So if the max average bitrate and the length of a particular film will result in 2000MB total, the bitrate calculator figures out that the cutpoints of CD's should be at 667MB in order to create equal CD sizes.
Some more thought will have to go into this, but i'm sure someone out there understands my basic point. Basically, whenever all cd images aren't of equal size, they should instead be made into images of the average of their sizes. (if that last sentence didn't confuse you too much, perhaps you could put it in some better words for me)
