[LAU] ffmpeg video generation: quality options

Hey hey,
I've found the following command to generate a video from single frame images
ffmpeg -r 25 -start_number 1 -i image%03d.jpg -c:v libx264 -r 25 -pix_fmt 
yuv420p out.mp4

My question is: the resultant videos seem quite small. Seeing that I have no 
knowledge of all the video quality parameters, could someone suggest better 
options?

The input files are 1280x720 JPGs with possibly 16bits for color (standard 
POV-Ray output).

Final destination is youtube. Any suggestions are very welcome.

Best wishes and thanks,

Jeanette
