Does MPLEX do transcoding?  I should think that one would have to specify
MPEG-1 encoding with -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video, lest the default mpeg4
be used.  And really, even if MPLEX does transcoding, it'd be silly to
do so if not necessary.

Also the framerate of 25 is more applicable to PAL systems which aren't
that common in Canada.  29.94 (or just 30) would probably be more useful
depending on the display medium.
