lots of artifacts making a vcd of a simple cartoon

[yugger]

I'm using tmpeg to make a vcd of a simple cartoon called caillou.
The cartoon drawings use simple color schemes. Lots of brigth colors.

The source is a avi file and it looks okay.

But when i make a vcd using the standard template form tmpeg i get a lot of blockiness around the edges of the cartoon character.

Is there a way of improving getting rid of this noise.

I tried a lot of the filters without any luck.

dont use any filters ...

the Quantization matrices on the advanced tab to CG/Animation

ONLY check off "use floating point....."

contrast levels (black) will need to watched - enable padding a good idea in VBR ansd set a value of 200 in min ..
