+Causes frames with higher quantizers to be more likely to trigger a
+scene change detection and make libavcodec use an I-frame (default: 1).
+1\-16 is a sane range.
+Values between 2 and 6 may yield increasing PSNR (up to approximately
+0.04 dB) and better placement of I-frames in high-motion scenes.
+Higher values than 6 may give very slightly better PSNR (approximately
+0.01 dB more than sc_factor=6), but noticably worse visual quality.
