[MPlayer-users] Is more than 3 pass really beneficial or am I just paranoid about quality?

[VJ]

Hi,
   I am using about 4 passes for encoding my recordings(from MythTV)
into MPEG2 format using mencoder.
   I wonder is there any real benefit in 4 passes? I see no difference
in quality (may be too little for my eyes) but file size does become
smaller.
   All I want to know is the experience of the people using mencoder
with multiple passes.
