Michael,

The best way I could describe the problem:
It seems that mencoder does not recognises that I'm setting a fix bitrate. It 
might have a default one (I've found something in the docs that says it's 
800, but I'm not sure). Doesn't metter if I change the bitrate to 6000, I'll 
have the same file 300 megz file all the time.

Low quality and that's why it is small...

I know. Also I have no idea why.

Yes, I've used the same, but still, its low quality.

it's 11 megz, 2,1 megz gzipped, so I'm uploading it. It's under 
ftp.mplayerhq.hu/Mplayer/incoming/mbjr/lavc_stats.txt.gz

It a little bit larger, but still not much difference in quality. It's around 
430 MBs.
