[MPlayer-users] arg, frustration with 3 pass divx encoding...

[christopher j bottaro]

ok, i just read the thread you refered me to.  you suggest lowering the fps to 
23.973.  the other guy suggests raising the bitrate by ~1.2.

which will produce better quality video?  =)

thanks,

P.S.  from reading a previous explaination of vbitrate, it seems they both 
will produce better quality, which is better?  =)
