Ok, as soon as I tested first videos on IT 2006, they looked splendid! Resolutionwas 352x288. Framerate was flawless on even fast paced action. Thus I figured video processing is indeed much better. Also, when looking at the quality of the image for that resolution, it seems much better as well.

But immediately when testing any other resolution, except for 352xsomething, I wasn't able to play them. Why I asked. 352xsomething videos were played at half fps, so it could have be something to do with that. I tried 240x144 on that resolution. Bingo! worked.

Ok, now, it might make sense to think that it 2006 is no longer able to play high fps video. Not so. I tested with fps 24. Worked. Thus I added 1+1 and modified the code to explicitly place the original framerate in place (to the -ofps flag).

While I haven't had the time to do tests on whether it 2006 suports even greater resolutions than 352x288, nor testing whether full fps is achievable for that resolution, I must say that on the new it 2006, 352x288 is the way to go. It's absolutely beautifull. Even better than the discovery video on default install.

But remember to have good quality source video if you are looking to get good quality encoding.
