damned... I thought the 16 factor was only for cropping...

I'll try aspect, thanx...
(as for MKV & OGM, I've stopped using them...)

when you guys say 'deinterlace first', you mean:
-vf pp=lb,crop=704:432:7:72,scale=700:302
instead of
-vf crop=704:432:7:72,scale=700:302,pp=lb
right?

well... It does work...
anyway, I'll use you recommandations in my encoding option from now on.
cheers!
