        Folks kind enough to say 'thanks' is sufficient ;)

        Which means the 'prediction' (P) frames are decaying and it's time to,
        as you noticed, start a new GOP.  A size of 10 is quite reasonable for
        video with a lot of motion.  Eventually the dynamic GOP sizing
        will be completed (the detection logic is already present - you 
        probably noticed some extra log messages from 'mpeg2enc' flagging
        points at which it would start a new GOP) and you won't have to worry
        as much about it.  Until then 10's fine.

        So far so good - I wonder though if the default tables (skip the -K)
        would work well.

        Good.

        The defaults do seem to be a bit aggressive.  You might try the
        values I sent via private mail.

        I tend to put that first in the pipeline - but I don't think that's
        critical.

        -t 3 -z 2 might be a worthwhile set of values to try.

        Ok.  If your video will fit on the media then you're all done - those
        are reasonable values

        The cubicK4 (-S option=cubicK4) may be worth trying - it might be
        better (but then it might not ;)) than a simpler 'cubic' scaling 
        kernel.

        Yes indeed - that conversion to/from DV was definitely not improving
        the quality (and you probably noticed it added quite a bit to the
        processing time :)).

        Sounds like you're having a lot of fun and moving right along - keep
        us posted.

        Cheers,
