Ok. I take note of your suggestion. I can't currently benchmark
8x8dct, but I'll do it ASAP.

Note: I have the same "layout" for the encoding settings examples of
xvid and lavc, so please tell me what you think of it in addition of
the usual nits. I'm personally not satisfied with the way I put them.
