[MPlayer-users] Which codec is fast and good?

Hi, again!

I decided to stay with on-the-fly compression and to do some "tuning" wuth
options. I found a program for cutting AVI files with DivX video stream, so I
will prefer DivX files as I currently get - they have simply the best quality.

About "denoise3d":
I do not "want" it as a "must". I got it suggested, so I use it. It will
surely cause additional system load, but as long as the CPU is below 100%...
Anyway, CPU far below 100% would be better, but I could not find a description
of denoise3d and its options...

Another problem arose with cutting the resulting avi file:
My son found a GPL'd Windoze program which is able to edit avi files, but it
always cuts on keyframes, not between them. (Knows the hell why no such
tool is available for Linux, I cannot get avidemux running here).
This causes the problem that I cannot cut out commercials exactly, because
keyframes appear approx. 1/sec.
What can I do? Re-rendering the whole video is definitely _not_ that what I
want to do. It takes a extremly long time on Windoze, and the result is
extremely poor.
Is it possible to let mencoder insert more keyframes, i.e. 4/sec.?
What are the side effects?  Will the file get bigger? How much? What's about
CPU load?
