Going to test some stuff out with Spongebob episodes because they compress well and they are very short. Looks like aspect ratio w/ xvid works well, at least with my setup (ffdshow/wmp). I did a 720×480 out as 1:1 and set aspect ratio in xvid settings to 4:3 and it looks real nice. Interlaced frame show up nasty, gonna look into playback methods before I decide on deinterlacing them permanently. Still looking for a container, apparently avi is junk.
