Same results here, but I just use "transcode".  I burned a bunch of
exercise disks for my wife a year or so back, and found that transcode
did a much better job of handling motion than ffmpeg.  The latter had
too many motion artifacts.  I know ffmpeg is supposed to be faster, but
I haven't had the time to dig up the right version.  If I had more time,
I'd try "mencoder", too.
