How do you detect these values?

I guess 704:424 is from 'mplayer -vf cropdetect'. 528:320 and 4:3:6 is
probably your own idea though it is not clear to me why you chose
precisely these values. But where do -s 64 -S 45 come from? What I am
after is: Could these be autodetected so the normal user will not need to
figure these out?

I am all for configurability. But if we have good defaults that give
excellent results in most cases then it will be easier for non-geeks to
use theora without tweaking.

I am quite impressed with the speedup your suggestions made. From 90% CPU
usage I am now around 40% - i.e no framedropping and quite usable. Thank
you.
