I check the dimensions, they are 240x320 and I have set the size of the videoview to the same dimension. No more scaling, but the video still looks the same.
Hm, I just realised that the codec is not H263, but but MPEG-4 video. Still tring to find a way to make ffmpeg use H263. But thanks for the info concerning scaling and bitrate.
