I- and B-frames are offset from this value by ip_factor and pb_factor, respectively. 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-1/2/4. +Note that quantization in H.264 works differently from MPEG-1/2/4: H.264's quantization 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-1/2/4. +The mapping is approximately H264QP = 12 + 6*log2(MPEGQP). +For example, MPEG at QP=2 is equivalent to H.264 at QP=18. . .TP .B pass=<1\-3> |
