I'm not using the hardware compression. I've never messed with it so I can't say.
What processor do you have? Have you though about not using the hardware
compression and just doing software (for the ability to specify a resolution
that looks good?).
You probably want deinterlacing on if your cpu has the mmx functions (most do).
