- In MPEG there is a possibility to change the quantization table for
- part of a single frame, which allows you to limit/eliminate artifacts.
- However, most of the time MPEG encoders operate in a "auto-pilot" mode and
- if no manual adjustments are made, DCT artifacts can still be there.

- This is NOT representative of what MPEG (@ 1.2Mbit/sec) can do.
- It looked pretty poor to us (full of artifacts), while the average
- TRUE MPEG encoded movie looks very close to what you get with the
- rented VHS tapes.
