OK, I found the problem. The emails made a little voice in the back of my head start screaming "check the output bitrate numbskull!" I looked over the output bitrate and got 360K. I tried upping it to 1200K and 1500K (-b in ffmpeg). It went from reencoding at 4-5x, but the quality looked suitable. Still not as good as the original, but good enough I can watch from my couch (where I like watching TV anyway), without complaints. The problem is, the 22MB/20second file turned into 16 and 17MB respectivly. Not much compression improvement. Can anyone reccomend a format combo that will achive a better quality:size ratio than mpeg2video/mp2/mpeg? If ffmpeg doesn't work well, could I get suggestions for a program (and the port that provides the program)? Thanks, -Jim Stapleton
