Well, consider that "VCD" resolution (352x240) typically uses about
1100 I'd think that 800x600 would need a few more bits to look good :)

Not really ;)
How was the MP3 file created (if you already mentioned that then I
forgot ;)). While MPEG-1 video and "MP3" audio is an unusual
combination it should work for playback on a computer.
The other very interesting thing which I didn't catch at first is the
"Vbv buffer size":

My goodness that's HUGE! Even HDTV (~14Mb/s) only needs 488KB but
here we have a supposedly 1Mb/s stream that mplex says needs over
a megabyte!
Hmmm - the other very interesting thing is the "Picture rate". What
kind of frame rate is "b reserved"?
mplex is getting some weird (probably very high) frame rate which is
confusing/breaking the other calculations that go into multiplexing
a stream.
It's beginning to look like the video stream is bogus somehow.
I have no idea what cinelerra (sp) is doing for the encoding - but it
appears to be causing a really strange stream to be output.
