Summary of the bug:
The default value for option -q is missing, at least for encoder=libx264.
How to reproduce:
- search on https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-codecs.html
- additionally try:
{{{
% ffmpeg -h encoder=libx264
ffmpeg version 4.1.3
built on gcc 6.3.0 (Debian 6.3.0-18+deb9u1) 20170516
}}}
From the output of using this encoder, I can see, it seems to be 28.0, but
this is nowhere documented.
IMHO on https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-codecs.html it should be possible to
easily find for each codec:
1. the default quality
2. which option to use to change it (here -q)
Additionally `ffmpeg -h encoder=blafoo` should give this info.
