+       3 (i.e. severe quantization) to any block where the largest AC
+       component is greater than 36. ffmpeg's DV encoder tracks AC bit
+       consumption precisely, so there is no need to bias most blocks
+       towards strongly lossy compression. Instead, we assign class 2
+       to most blocks, and use class 3 only when strictly necessary
+       (for blocks whose largest AC component exceeds 255). */
