Excellent work. "Better" setting is comparable to 3ivX4 PR2 at default settings. Two things I'd want for 5 stars: 1) Cropping. I hate black bars. A preview and wizard like MacMPEG2Decoder would be perfect. 2) One or two more widths. I prefer to encode to 512 width as it provides a more even expansion to full screen width of 1024, and this would make a decent middle point between 480 and 640. Nice to see the stuttering video corrected in the newest CVS of ffmpeg as well.
