Hi, thanks for explainations, and btw. the lambda values would have
been my next question anyway: ffmpeg's mpegvideo.c reads
lambda= (qscale*qscale*64*105 + 64)>>7; //FIXME finetune
and
int score= distoration + length[UNI_AC_ENC_INDEX(run,level)]*lambda;
which I read as lambda = 64*105/128 * qscale^2
Where does the extra factor of 64 come from (or 16 perhaps, considering
stepsize = 2*qscale) ?
