-lameopts preset=128 (average bitrate of 128kbit/s + preset for high 
quality) should give much better quality but it needs a bit more cpu 
time.

crop=672:560:24:0,scale=464:384:::35 -o /dev/null -sws 6 -dvd-device

-sws 6 is faster and better to compress but visually as good as -sws 2. 
Scale=464:384:::35 does a little less sharpening than the default (not 
visible) which improves compressibility. Both options should improve 
quality at a given bitrate or reduce bitrate at given quality.
