The second:
Sorenson is based on MPEG-4 technology and mostly aimed for QuickTime encoding, not for MPEG-1.
And the last thing:
I was asking about the possibility to buy DVD MPEG-2 (MPEG-4) quality videos at the price of MPEG-1. So as I see nobody is interested in it.
It looks like you are totally newbie to video encoding

1) You're confused my son. The ONLY reason anyone uses mpeg-1 anymore isnt because of its amazing quality or impressive compression but because that it is the most widely supported format on the net.
The only advantage to mpeg-2 for what you're doing is giving people who wish to re-encode their own shit a decent copy to work with but when it comes to end-user support, forget it.
2) Sorenson does/can compress Mpeg-1 compatiable files which are still just as widely supported and isnt solely based on Mpeg-4, maybe you're thinking of Sorenson v3.
For the most part an mpeg compressor is a mpeg compressor but some programs tend to do it better. Oh, and yes you can go over 352x240, but i dont see how that is useless.
