thanks brother,
yes I was able to make the warnings [ ...warning, clipping 1 dct 
coefficients ... ]
  go away with a   "  -qmin 3  "

I wonder what is the diff of

-qscale 2  & -qmin 2


This matter has  brought me to a greater understanding of such matters
thanks for the -mbd
( -mbd <int> E.V.. macroblock decision algorithm (high quality mode)
... though I will confess I am a bit fuzzy on what that -- means 
...exactly.. )

and on format / player support for Very large frm size...

It is an interesting matter -- total supported frame size in different 
players.
QT (win&mac) seems very forgiving - a high cieling
VLC , mplayer , win media player all tend to hollar  " 6720 x 1200 is to 
big " & fail .

one wonders how this will change with the coming of 4k etc.

thanks again
