The IDCT topic has been discussed to death. This effect is way to small to 
explain the worse quality (in comparison to xvid, divx) of lavc. You have 
not been able to show that the differences are so large that they matter.

If you want to discuss this further, please send flaimes to my private mail 
account. Keep this mailing list clean.

Which bug numbers are you refering to? Or just plain FUD?

1. HINT: Doom9 did a codec comparison (=> libav codec), not a video tool
   (mencoder) comparison. That's why they call it "Codec shoot-out 2005".
2. They never wrote that they used mencoder. There is no "mencoder
   commandline". See yourself: 
http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/codecs-quali-105-1.htm
3. They used MP4 format:
   "To level the MPEG-4 playfield somewhat, this year all MPEG-4 codecs will
    be using the MP4 container. Non MPEG-4 codecs will use the AVI container
    or their native container."  (Does mencoder 1.0pre7 support MP4? :-)
4. They are not HIDING anything but they clearly state what software they 
used:
	"To encode I used the following software:
	 DGIndex 1.4.5 & DGDecode
	 AviSynth 2.55 for frameserving (avs2yuv doesn't support 2.56)
	 VirtualDub 1.6.11 for VfW encoding
	 Nandub 1.0 RC2 lumafix to multiplex AVI
	 Mp4box CSV dated November 24th to multiplex MP4"

Wrong again...
