I now have the following in my local tree:
.B \-oldpp <quality> (OBSOLETE)
Use the opendivx postprocessing code instead of the internal one.
Superceded by \-pp, the internal postprocessing offers better
quality and performance.
The valid range of \-oldpp values varies by codec, mostly
0\-6, where 0=disable 6=slowest/\:best.
Somebody please say "commit" or point out the error in my ways.
Thanks
Diego
