[MPlayer-users] quantizers in divx2pass with CVS mencoder/lavc

[HR]

In the mplayer-1.0pre1 release version, encoding with lavc, I think the
divx2pass file listed the quantizers as an (apparantly) decimal number
between 1.0000 etc. and 31.0000 etc. I pulled down a mencoder/ffmpeg CVS
on october 27 for a get_buffer() lavc fix (the 1st pass of a dvdrip
crashed towards the end, leaving the divx2pass logfile zero size), and
the quantizers now seem to be listed as an integer in a 3 digit range or
so. I've turned off various options, cutting it down to a bare minimum,
but the q numbers remain. What changed, and is it documented somewhere?
How should I check the quantizers now? I checked the docs pages and the
changelogs, but cant seem to find any information... Docs/changelogs
unfortunately usually aren't this detailed anyway, and since this must
be a fairly recent change, there's no point googling either (even though
I optimisticly did try a little). It's not really important, but my
quantizer-checker-fixer-upper-script stopped working ;)

Which is better (besides using my eyes...); considering the quantizers
or the PSNR?
