Wut? When using 16 refs on a 720x480 encode, x264 sets it as level 4.0. How are people managing level 5.1 with DVD rips, assuming they aren't upscaling?

Re: mbtree, it seems like people disable it to preserve dithering and grain while using low aq-strength and psy settings. I find this kind of dumb, because higher aq and psy have always been much more efficient for that in my experience.
