Try the attached patch.  This will let you set the size greater than
720x480 on the transcoding profiles.  I'm not 100% sure what the max
size the encoding libraries can handle though, so you might run into
limits elsewhere.

Let me know how it works out and if things work OK, we can get a
similar mod into CVS.
