On http://www.marumo.ne.jp/mpeg2/ you get an MPEG2-VFAPI-Plugin for
TMPGEnc, but I don´t know if it works with Wine. For analyzing an
MPEG-File, I recommend the Windows-Tool ReStream at
http://shh.dvdboard.de. With this tool, you can also patch the
resolution and export the intra and non-intra matrices of the MPEG-file.
I was told that if you use the matrix of the original video in TMPGEnc
for reencoding, you get best quality.
