Hi; I'm recording Star Wars Clone Wars and I'm planning to author a DVD
when I have all the episodes.

I'm recording at 352x480/29.97 fps, Quicktime mov using XawTV's
streamer. I convert the video to YUV4MPEG using transcode, and then I
use this to generate the MPEG:

| yuvdenoise -F | \
mpeg2enc -f 9 -n n -F 4 -a 2 -I 0 -q 4 -4 1 -2 1 -H -o movie.m2v

The -F in yuvdenoise is necessary, otherwise the video looks shaky in my
standalone DVD.

For no-cartoon encoding, the result is pretty good; it's almost no
distinguishable from the original broadcast. In my TV with standalone
DVD looks very very good.

With cartoon encoding, however, the result is just "good enough", but
I'm not 100% satisfied. I present screen shots from the original MOV and
the resulting MPEG:

I must say that yuvdenoise makes a great job (make a zoom at the
upper-left corner in both images, for example). But the resulting video
has jagged draw lines, and the colors (which in cartoons generally must
be uniform) has a kind of "texture" that I don't like.

I want the following, and I'm not sure if this is possible with
mpeg2enc:

 1. Antialias (or something similar) for the draw lines in cartoons.
 2. Uniform colors; again, just in cartoons.

�This is possible with mpeg2enc or some of the yuv* tools?

Thanks in advance.
