[XviD-devel] quick question about the quality switch

[Tom Jacobs]

hi

could someone give a a very brief desciption about the differences between
-q 1 to 7? i need to add it to a paper and its in today :$ i have (well
someone else in my lab who has left) profiled the encoder at different
levels and now the reviewer of the paper wants a line or two saying the
difference.   im guessing the levels relate to how good ME is?  xvid only
uses full search to find MV though doesnt it? so does this just effect the
search range used? are there any other differences?

many thanks

Tom
