hoho, holy shit...
tried setting PICQPC to 1.
this results in chroma_qp_index_offset being set to 1 and QPY 50, QPU/V 39.
the 1280 x 720 video looks like shot with a 320x240 webcam.
basically every 16x16 block is "worth" a pixel.
same if i set chroma_qp_index_offset to -1..
when setting PICQPY from 0x1A to 0x19, then the pic_init_qp_minus26 goes down by one from -1 to -2
lol, is that cause PicQpC needs to be set by PicQpY? Rather can changes be made directly to PicQpC without adjusting PicQpY?
(Forgive me if that question makes no sense cause I'm not entirely sure I even understand what I just said lol)
Anyway is that "720 looks like 240" trick basically what happens when setting a low CBR like 0.3x. Should we expect a similar loss of quality when setting bitrate that low?
