At 352x288 there is a visible difference?! What kind of content are you encoding? Is your target VCD? Can anybody comment on *why* TMPGEnc produces higher quality output? Is it just well-chosen defaults? I find that I can do pretty nearly whatever I want in terms of visual quality by using lavc options and filter plugins.
