[MPlayer-users] best parameters to encode for 200kbps?

[Ricardo Kleemann]

Hi,

I'm trying to find the best combination of options, to encode with lavc
for 200kbps, at 352x240 (quarter ntsc).

I've tried several combinations, but still get very blocky output. I
imagined that lavc with mpeg4 would produce very good quality at 200k.

My current settings are (please correct me if I'm misusing anything)

mencoder -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts
abitrate=32:vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=200:vhq:v4mv:mbd=2:trell:cmp=3:subcmp=3:mbcmp=3:
autoaspect:vpass=1 -vf hqdn3d,decimate,scale=352:240,pp=de/fq/tn:1:2:3
infile.avi -o outfile.mp4

I tried other combinations, using such parameters as qns=3, nr=20000,
etc... but so far I haven't found a good combination that eliminate the
blocking sufficiently.

Thanks!
Ricardo
