It's perhaps that ffmpeg has heavily optimized decoders, and probably optimized encoders for some formats, but not all. I'm not sure, but they have different goals so it's possible that there are significant differences in implementation. mp1e is just fast, and quality is decent. > (I'm recalling when I used to encode everything in mpeg-1 because I only > had macintosh computers...

I spent some time tweaking the options for what I felt was a balance of quality and speed, while keeping in mind the limitations of the hardware. There is more control I suppose...
