Images for a quick visual comparison and to better explain what I've
been seeing.
FMP4:

Xvid:

VP3.2 (Sharp) (Theora looks much worse):

> FMP4 with these options looks much, much better (sharper) than Xvid,
> though with just slightly more artifacts... I found it very sad that
> Xvid quantizes out most of the stars, in a movie that takes place in

> Even with my best efforts, both codecs still get easily beaten at low
> bitrates by (the rather old) VP3.2, which is then surpassed by x264.
