force quantization parameter (default: 0, use QP from video)

by the IDCT, which is obviously not the case) it simply finds a block for
the minimum of error and lambda*bits.
.PD 0
.RSs
.IPs lambda
quantizer parameter (QP) dependant constant
.IPs bits\ 
amount of bits needed to encode the block
.IPs error
sum of squared errors of the quantization
.RE

Try to encode each MB with MV=<0,0> and choose the better one.
This has no effect if mbd=0.
.
.TP
.B qprd (mbd=2 only)
rate distorted optimal quantizer parameter (QP) for the given
lambda of each macroblock
.
.TP
.B last_pred=<0\-99>
Amount of motion predictors from the previous frame

.B qp_constant=<2\-51>
This selects the quantizer to use.
20\-40 is a useful range (default: 26).
Lower values result in better fidelity, but higher bitrates.
Note that quantization in H.264 works differently from MPEG[124].
H.264's quantizer parameter (QP) is on a logarithmic scale.
As an example, the bitrate difference between QP=20 and QP=40
is about a factor of 10.
Useful quantizers in H.264 tend to be very large compared to MPEG[124].
