  <emphasis role="bold">vb_strategy=1</emphasis>: helps in high-motion scenes.
  Requires vmax_b_frames >= 2.
  On some videos, vmax_b_frames may hurt quality, but vmax_b_frames=2 along
  with vb_strategy=1 helps.

  MPEG-4 uses half pixel precision for its motion search by default,
  therefore this option comes with an overhead as more information will be
  stored in the encoded file.
  The compression gain/loss depends on the movie, but it is usually not very
  effective on anime.
  qpel always incurs a significant cost in CPU decode time (+20% in
  practice).

  <emphasis role="bold">hq_ac</emphasis>
  Activates a better coefficient cost estimation method, which slightly
  reduces filesize by around 0.15 to 0.19%, while having a negligible
  impact on speed.
  It is therefore recommended to always leave it on.
