[MEncoder-users] Different versions, very different results

[Matyas]

Hi All,

While testing encoding settings I noticed that I get quite different results
with different levels of mencoder.

1. The current SVN fails in the second pass with:
  x264 [error]: bad frame number ...

2. Version r28850 determines a bitrate of 734 kb/s in the first pass.

3. Version r29108 determines a bitrate of 647 kb/s in the first pass.

All the same parms.

Was there a vast improvement in compression efficiency from r28850 to
r29108?

Thanks.
