Yes, thanks for a warning. Finally I get reasonable results and can 
focus on finetuning :)
Taking an opportunity - would you please refer me to some reading on 
ratings/specs/stats/compos on encoding with/without B frames *using 
lavc*? I tried RTFM, but it's very modest on this matter (as well as 
original ffmpeg docs). I am interested in real-life examples, but rather 
general (=reasonable average for most movies), I am not interested in 
spending lots of time prepering settings for every movie, but yet I want 
not to totally screw up :)

thanks
Domi
