i'm working on converting mpeg1 encoders to video filter plugins, so
all them (ffmpeg, fame and mp1e) will be there, and you can choose runtime
which one you want to use.

anyway quality of fame can eb increased, like i said i nhte announce, by
changing the values in vo_mpegpes.c defines and settings
i recomemnd changing "I" to "IPPPPPPPPPPP" if you have fast enough cpu
it improves quality a lot but needs ~30% more cpu
