Transcoding from one lossy format that is used on the web to another results in a significant reduction in quality compared to a non lossy source to lossy end format encoding, so you shouldn't make quality vs file size judgements based on that type of transcoding. -- Spartanicus (email whitelist in use, non list-server mail will not be seen)
