I use Handbrake for mp4 videos. 2 pass encoding and some tweaks in the advanced tab.
So long as the source footage is good, I can encode SD video (620x480) crystal clear at around 1800kbps. Sometimes less if there is not a lot of fast movement.
I've been playing with FFMPEG, but I can't get anywhere near the same quality with that as I can with Handbrake. I'm sure it can be done, I just don't know it well enough yet.
