To make this look better in MPEG:

* Don't use full red against black; the color compression is not kind to 
red-against-black edges.  A yellow roller coaster would work just as 
well for test purposes.

* Don't use a checkered plane, especially black and white.  A granite 
pattern, scaled large, with softer colors, will compress just as much 
with far less artifacting.

* If you're not using anti-aliasing, do so.  Smooth edges compress far 
better than jagged ones.

Regards,
John
