Using ffmpeg to encode a high quality video

Viewed 183941

I have a set of video frames saved as images in a directory, and I'm trying to encode these to a good quality video, however every setting and every format I try produces very noticeable artifacts.

The basic command is this:

ffmpeg -r 25 -i %4d.png myvideo.mpg

and I've tried the minrate and maxrate flags. Any of {mpg, avi, mov, flv} formats will do.

Any suggestions for settings? Final file size is not an issue.
