Yes. mpeg2enc is definately sub-optimal in allocating bits based on how likely it is quantisation will show up. It should get better but I have to improved the internal "infrastructure" first. I will be borrowing a lot of useful open-source stuff from the MPEG-4 world - not all of it is really relevant but some will definately make noticeable improvements.
