I just tested it. You are right and this surprised me absolutely. Initially I 
wanted to set the bitrate to 8000 but now I tried 2000. The interesting thing 
is, that I see only minimum differences.

I assume that you spent lot of time to find the optimum arguments. I'm really 
thankful that you told me your results.
