 Replying to [comment:4 xnejp03]:
 > Yes, that fixes it. So shall I add this option to all my commands where
 target is mpeg2video (just to stay on the safe side)?

 Only to the ones where quality loss is no problem / where you need
 compatibility with outdated players. ffmpeg by default tries to keep as
 much information (quality) as possible, if you need a different behaviour,
 you have to specify the output pixel format you want.
