.wmv quality

Completed project to be streamed to client's website.
.mpg 2 looks great. Very happy.
.wmv,---not so great with waves during transitions,---and overall cloudy looking.
Any tips on how to add some clarity and quality to a very poor image.
Rendered this at 256 kps.
Thanks

I render for streaming in .wmv at 512. Big difference in quality between that and 256, which looks unacceptable to me.

we use a custom setting, size 720 x 480 with a 1M setting

end result you get a full screen wmv that looks as good as the 3M rate

forgot to add, use double pass

720 x 480 would be stretched , since its square pixels and i assume you are coming from ntsc
