You need a higher bit rate. Try somewhere like 2000-4000 kbits/sec for
352x288 type resolution, 4000-6000 kbits/sec for 720x576.

Well - I use mpeg1, but you must have good input video quality and have to
accept that you need an adequate bit rate.
If I'm keeping stuff I recompress into Divx4 - mencoder (part of
mplayer) is working well for me. Shrinks my files to 1/3rd original size,
but Divx compression is much much CPU heavier than mpeg1.
