Hmmm, if you built 1.6.2 and it does not recognize -R then that option must have been added after the last release. You'll need to check out the CVS version in that case. -R is needed to make sure the chroma is in bounds but that won't fix the quality issue that you're seeing. > Another question: is there a way to directly convert a BMP file to YUV4MPEG > instead of first converting that BMP to JPEG and then using jpeg2yuv? Not that I know of. BMPs aren't a very popular format outside of windows from what I've seen. > > y4mscaler -I sar=1:1 -O preset=dvd -S option=sinc:6 > > > I scaled the images with an external program to 720x576, so no need for y4mscaler. I'm a bit busy and will respond to the other mail items later tonight but one thing I can say now is that I can see fringing/ringing even in the original .jpg image. Take the original .jpg into the GIMP and at a 2 or 4x zoom factor the distortion around the edges of the flowers is quite visible. mpeg2enc is merely reproducing (and due to bitrate constraints is magnifying) the quality issue that's already present. The other encoder, using a 3 or 4x higher bitrate is able to avoid most of the quality loss but even there it's slightly visible. I wonder if a higher quality resizing/scaling would help in this case.
