Okie. Sorry for having wastes time ;)
(personal todo: get cvs source tonight!)

err... because I can ? ;)
Seriously, I didnt notice any quality improvements with things like -pp
either (not for DVD), but there's a few artifacts i noticed in the movie
that really bothered me :/ (small "echos" around the yellow letters of the
title-screen, etc)... wanted to see if i could throw a little extra
CPU-time against it to get rid of 'em.

Aaarrgh!
*puts out the flames with his last Jolt can*.. damn


Btw, while I'm wasting mailbox-space, anyway:
Is there anyone who (with playing dvd's) has noticed a sort of silent
"bubbling/chiming" effect ?
While watching 7 years in Tibet, i noticed that the sound had a sort of
low-bitrate mp3-like "bubbling" effect.. but very high pitched.
It was only easily noticable during very silent scenes with violin music
on the background, etc, but it was present during the whole movie.
Same question: Is this a known issue, or is this inherent to aac3 sound
decoding ?.. or is it my soundcard ? ;) (maestro2 builtin).
I'm gonna be testing the CVS tonight, in any case, but just in case this
hasnt happened to anyone before.
