Quoting myself, as I re-encoded with QLB.
Overall the quality was improved great with QLB vs. MPEG, encoding the olympic hockey finals + extras totalling about 3h15min. The macro-blockyness was reduced and the overall image was smoother.
On the negative side, there is a rather heavy ringing artefact on high contrast edged (namely player vs. ice surface). The artefact exists already in the shitty SD DVB source material, but encoding using QLB seems to make it even rougher - or it stands out more in the otherwise smooth-ish image.
