In trying to make a VBR MPEG1, there is a tradeoff between higher filesize/bitrate vs. quality.
To get the same visual quality (i.e. no artefacts, no halo around text, etc), is it preferable to increase the bitrate or reduce the -q parameter to mpeg2enc (i.e. increase quality factor)? I just used a VBR bitrate of 1150, "-K tmpgenc -E -10 -R 0 -q 8" to make a 130 minute DVD source fit a single CD-R. The quality is not exactly great, but it is not bad either. There are halos around letters (subtitles), the picture is not very sharp/clear. Comments?
