What quality is that ?

I'm asking, because for playing videos on my iPad, I use AirVideo.
It encodes on the fly using ffmpeg any mpeg2 or divx source into
1024x768 at their maximum quality sufficiently fast to play without
lag on a 2.6GHz Core2Duo.

When I queue an encoding for later watching, your typical 40 minutes
videos is encoded in about 20 minutes..

The result certainly looks good to my eyes
