[MacDV] How does one increase quality of final encoding?

[Mark M. Florida]

All you gotta do to increase your final quality is use the 2-pass VBR 
encoding option with a high bitrate (7-8 Mbps) using the highest quality 
setting for motion (forget what it's called specifically).

Depending on how fast your machine is, this may or not be worth the 
extra encoding time.  On my dual 2.5 G5 at work, the quality difference 
is usually not worth the wait...  But that's just me...  ;-)
