Well, one thing for sure is that the menu is bleeding into the picture. I just opened Olympus Has Fallen which was made with the Red background Menu and it bleeds through the picture and characters. Now, sometimes it doesn't happen because I would of noticed it, so maybe it's menu specific as there's a natural color menu also provided. I'll do the same movie with the different audio codecs just for checking that issue out. Man, you guys can't snatch an .mp4 from one of the hundreds of sites available and test it out for yourself? I'll do kit but you doing your own conversions will be even better. I'm not tinkering with any settings other than the Audio and a different menu, so you could do the same. I'll post back the logs.
Sometimes the menu bleeds into the picture and sometimes it doesn't. Now I've compared the original file to the two conversions and even at DVD-9 they weren't as clear as the original. Sometimes it's as clear as anything.

The original did have a color discrepancy with a little red in the beginning and creeping through here and there. So if anything if we can try to see where we can make FFMpeg put out a better conversion.
