Damn! I missed the original post. Fortunately, I found it from the
archives. Somebody should start collecting encoding tests into some web
page, they're impossible to find from archives afterwards. In fact, I just
started doing that. But please tell me if somebody already has a test page.

Corey, do you mind that I put you message to:

Also, those mv0 and cbp are in CVS version, right? At least I can not find
them from mplayer-1.0pre1.

I'm planning to do some tests myself too, from analog TV material, as soon
as I have some free CPU cycles.

Please also benchmark next time how slow the options are. Also it would be
interesting to see rate-distortion curve (encode same video with same
options but with different fixed quantization parameter, and plot it. It
will show both how much an option improves PSNR at any bitrate, _or_ how
much it decreases bitrate at given quality, which might be a better
test...)
