Due to the preset fields in Elevated X there's only so much you can change.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. http://www.gofuckyourself.com/images...NEW/1zhelp.gif

This is actually not true. I'm not familiar with the nick "Shark" but there was a support ticket submitted to us a few days ago and I think it may have been you. The answer given there was that by default, our system does allow you to enter custom flags to be passed to FFMPEG. Out of the box the encoding is simply done using base codecs hence the mixed results.
For the average user this works fine. For those who want more control over things and are seeking higher quality, the server side encoding often doesn't do what they need.
What you need to look for is "optimal settings for FFMPEG"
We'll work on adding better default flags to the system

We don't provide FFMPEG so anyone comfortable doing so is able to hack it to produce different results. On our end we facilitate the passing of flags which work well for a lot of people as someone mentioned already.
Adding 2 pass encoding and better default flags is planned so this should improve in time.
