This
might be due to the Minimum bitrate setting of the templates being too low for your player, especially if this only happens during very dark scenes or credits (when low bitrates can be expected). It might be worth trying a few short test encodes of the problem credits in +50 increments to the Minimum bitrate to see if/when it clears it up (you should still use as low of a Minimum as possible for space-savings).

If 480x480 works on your player (I know
I've used it in a pinch), it is
definetly sharper and more pleasing than 352x480 resolution. In fact, IMO, it isn't
too far off in quality from the x3 resolution, so if you ever have trouble getting a long movie to fit onto 1 disc using the x3 (and you've already tried all the extra filters you can tolerate), then dropping to 480x480 is a good alternative way to gain a bit more space (although it still may not reduce your filesize enough, so you still might end up needing to drop to 352x480). But it's always worth a shot!
Happy testing.
