As I promised, here are the results of tests performed on
The X-Files #8ABX03: "Redrum" (25fps, progressive, 4:3)
XviD settings:
Profile: AS@L5
MSP=6, ChromaME, VHQ=1
Trellis, GMC, Qpel, AQ ON
Packed Bitstream OFF
B-frames 3/1.50/1.00
B-VOP Sensitivity 3 (movie), 10 (credits)
weight=0.4 for the end credits
Quantizers 2-31
maximum I-frame interval 250
"Fast" first pass
desired size 180 MB
I left the rest at their defaults
AviSynth script
Code:
AVISource(...)
ConvertToYV12()
Crop(4,4,-4,-2)
Deen("c3d",1,16,20)
UnDot()
LanczosResize(512,384)
UnDot()
I captured this episode using a Bt878A-based card at 768x576. The source was quite noisy, hence the usage of
Deen() and 2*
UnDot(). The clip was more compressible, than I thought, so artifacts were not so obvious.
Jawor's 1CD Matrix achieved an average quantizer of 4.197,
HVS - Good Picture gave avg. quant = 4.335.

Take a look at these two screenshots - the first one is
Jawor's 1CD Matrix, the second one is from
HVS - Good Picture encode:
Compare the mosquito noise on the edges - it's slightly more visible with
HVS - Good Picture. Besides the mosquito noise, I haven't notice any diffrences between the two clips.
Currently I'm testing the same clip with the
HVS - Best Picture matrix.
