:-)

BTW is b_pyramid considered ready for production nowadays?

Yes, I get something similar, mencoder says something like "one
duplicate frame(s) skipped".

I cannot reproduce it now, but I do know, which is funny, that lowering
the subq or disabling trellis, or going single pass instead of dual,
solved it. Weird. Now I apply some filters to the input (like deblocking
and slight denoising, also works nicely on digital video), the qp goes
waaaaaaay down, the PSNR goes up, and the artifacts are gone. I won't
complain!

I remember having something similar with mpeg4-2, using qmin=1 (which of
course is not recommended, but I didn't know yet, then). Maybe it's a
similar issue.
