I surely have other priorities for the moment.
Currently I feel myself fighting against windmills. I found now a _very_ CPU
intensive setup which compresses into DivX @ 640x400px. My Celeron 1700 is
loaded to nearely 95%, but it works, so I get good image quality at a better
compression. (I use now degauss3d again, pp=tn produces much bigger files
because it lets more noise remain in the video.)

The situation is more worse: Many TV stations (as RTL-II) have sometimes
animated logos on the screen, also sometimes in different locations. Often,
they also change their size when the film is in 16:9. How would you get this
under control?
