I don't know how many video geeks we have here, but apparently there's this group of people who figured out how to use an optimized "quantize matrix" so that instead of crappy VCD quality MPEGs we can have near-DVD quality MPEGs, and they're backwards compatible - meaning you can run it in any player that would play a regular MPG file.
What you do is take TMPGEnc and add a new matrix, so instead of:
16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24
...
you have:
16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30
18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32
...
Or something like that. Result: double the quality at half the space
Anyway find out about it in
