  I think that the amount of artifacts depends on the quality setting of the
frames, the type of the frames (I, P or B) and the amount and ordering of them.
This also affects file size.
  Cmpeg is very good because you can easyly change these things.
  With the default settings of cmpeg (IBBPBBPBB or something like that), my
entry was too big (about 6 Megs). I tried lots of settings until I found
one that gave me lots of compression without too many artifacts (the frames
were in the order IBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPB if I remember right).
