These are huge, so I thought I could use ffmpeg to convert them into
mpeg files. These are small. However, when I play the final files in
mplayer, the resolution becomes very bad. I.e. it looks like some
stupid video art graphics where each pixel is around 5x5 big. I tried
with option -s 720x576 which is what mplayer reports when playing the
original avi files.

Anyone here knowing what to do? Or which forum I should attend to?
