Ok, so ive led you down the garden path a bit here. On checking the original its got macro blocking and mencoder is just faithfully reproducing it. Only way round it is maybe some smoothing filter.
I use two pass for archive and the one pass for 0-day stuff so the extra quality isnt worth the loss of speed and i will stick with 1.5 for now.
I will find some quality vobs to play with and let you know how 1.5 compares to 1.6/a.
thanks for your efforts.
