A lower value means better quality but larger files (default: 0 (disabled)). 1 is not recommended (see vqmin for details). #################### ### Motion estimation ### mbd=[0-2] ! ! !! !!! !!!!!! Macroblock decision algorithm (high quality mode), encode each macro block in all modes and choose the best. This is slow but results in better quality and file size. Use mbcmp (default). Select the MB mode which needs the fewest bits (=vhq). Select the MB mode which has the best rate distortion. vhq Same as mbd=1, kept for compatibility reasons. .................................. !!!!!!!!!!!!!v4mv!!!!!!!!!!!!! v4mv Allow 4 motion vectors per macroblock (slightly better quality). Works better if used with mbd set greater than 0 ?????? ######################### ## Quantization ########## mbqmin=[1-31] obsolete, use vqmin
mbqmax=<[-31] obsolete, use vqmax
vqdiff=[1-31] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! maximum quantizer difference between consecutive I- or P-frames (pass 1/:2) (default: 3) ####################### ## Quantization part3 ##########3 mpeg_quant *!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Use MPEG quantizers instead of H.263. ################### ####(rate conctrol)######## vratetol=[value] approximated file size tolerance in kbit. 1000-100000 is a sane range. (warning: 1kbit = 1000 bits) (default: 8000) NOTE: vratetol should not be too large during the second pass or there might be problems if vrc_(min|max)rate is used. ....................... vqcomp=[0.0-1.0] Quantizer compression, vrc_eq depends upon this (pass 1/:2) (default: 0.5). For instance, assuming the default rate control equation is used, if vqcomp=1.0, the ratecontrol allocates to each frame the number of bits needed to encode them all at the same QP. If vqcomp=0.0, the ratecontrol allocates the same number of bits to each frame, i.e. strict CBR. NOTE: Those are extreme settings and should never be used. Perceptual quality will be optimal somewhere in between these two extremes.
.......... vqblur=[0.0-1.0] (pass one) Quantizer blur (default: 0.5), larger values will average the quantizer more over time (slower change). Quantizer blur disabled. Average the quantizer over all previous frames. #################################### http://pwet.fr/man/linux/commandes/mplayer
