But the average bitrate should not be to close to the maximal bitrate. There should be a difference of about 20-25%.

Do not denoise or filter. Just take the yuv stream, scale it and than encode it. Have you used the -h option ? That might help a bit if you have a high quality source. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The debugger for complex code.
