Probably other factors matter too - for example, cameras ;-)))

BTW, if you want maximum quality you should not run mpeg2enc with default 
settings - increase -r (-r 24, -r 32) and set -4 -2 to 1 (-4 1 -2 1).  
Warning: these settings will make your encoding SLOW. Default settings is a 
compromise between speed & quality. Also it is possible to play with -N, -H 
and different quantization matrices: tmpgenc & kvcd matrices can give you 
significantly better compression (so you can decrease -q and get a better 
quality for the same file size).

And CVS version provides better quality compared to 1.6.1 with the same 
settings (thanks to Steven to convince me :-).
