1) Don't hijack threads (even your own) 2) With mencoder use pp7, with 
mplayer use pp7 if you have powerful cpu, otherwise use 
fspp=5/fspp=4/fspp=3 - depending on your cpu and video resolution.

I Read TFM.  I apologize for accidentally hijacking my own thread 
(mailing list newb). This time I'll be more specific.

I understand they are video filters, but I don't understand what they do 
exactly and in what situations they are useful/not useful  (are they 
meant to offer better compression/better quality encoding/both??)... I 
haven't been able to find a comparison or command line example using 
these filters for creating DVD compliant MPEG-2.  I was wondering if 
they offered any quality benefits for creating DVD compliant MPEG-2.
