Hi All,
I see exactly the same problem. I was using ffmpeg built from source
on Ubuntu Breezy. The transcoding with ffmpeg for dvd resulted good
quality videos. This weekend I updated my ubuntu to Feisty, and
replaced everything related to the mythtv. Funny, I thought I had a
backup and I did not :). Anyway, with the current ffmpeg ubuntu feisty
package I am getting crappy quality (Big pixelated pictures).
I was thinking going back to old version of ffmpeg. Did anybody tried
this solution?
I do not want to use transcode or mencoder since I am transcoding huge
amounts of shows.

Thank you,

Bilge.
