      [For best quality] "NEVER leave out 'vhq'. Never ever."

Should read: Don't use "vhq", use "mbd=2" for good quality

Do you really use these days 
'vlelim=-4:vcelim=9:lumi_mask=0.05:dark_mask=0.01' for encoding of 
non-animated movies?

Std.-Documentation
------------------
	'[...] use three-pass-encoding [...]'
This mailinglist: "Don't use three-pass-encoding!"

And so on.

What I wanted to say: There is no recent guide that says beginners what 
options they should use.
