I see. So VAQ basically is about as close to CRF as Xvid can get. Those bad quant restrictions indeed are one of the reason why I’d like to abandon Xvid. There are more important ones making me stay, though. And VAQ is definitely one more of those.

QPel usually doesn’t even improve compression but lowers it! However it makes the picture look a bit grittier. It’s a kind of pseudo-detail and if you like the effect, QPel is a good thing.

When reading the MPEG-4 Visual specs I get the impression that MPEG was more concerned with the whole non-rectangle video/compositing thing than plain old movie encoding. Maybe the restrictions make more sense from that point of view.
