At low bitrates, visual quality is higher if you pick a slightly
lower resolution, like 576 or even 512. Also, mplayer is *too*
smart : if the resolution doesn't match the AR, then it will
(properly) store the AR i nthe file, and scale it at display
time - which can be a problem a low-end hardware.

Anyway, now that I know the problem exist, I'll use multiple-of-16
resolutions :-)
