I'm having a issue with build libThusnelda 20081201,video is blocky, you 
can clearly see video is blocky in some parts of the video.
the Bit rate is high so what is the problem is, on x264 this type of Bit 
rate will make the video very smooth. can anybody tell me how to get 
that smooth video and what settings can i use,
I'm interested in the advanced usage of Thusnelda with two pass 
encoding. on the documentation page of Thusnelda is very limited and not 
much information
i had to go search on google to find some answers, looking inside the 
Thusnelda encoder from the cmd gives information but that i believe is 
limited and needs
to be explained properly

here is a frame from the encoded video tralier, as you can see it is 
very blocky, what i'm wondering is why it is like this when bit rate is 
high ? i have read
through this 
http://people.xiph.org/~greg/video/ytcompare/comparison.html few times 
but could not understand what command line is being used. please can
somebody update the following 
http://v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/examples.html that is in line with new 
things added into Thusnelda.
