Hello, mpeg2enc.1 gives wrong long option names. AFAIK both quantization/quantize and quantisation/quantise are correct spellings; but as practice and
$ mpeg2enc -h 2>&1 | grep quanti --quantisation|-q num Image data quantisation factor [1..31] (1 is best quality, no default) When quantisation is set variable bit-rate encoding is activated and --quantisation-reduction|-Q num Max. quantisation reduction for highly active blocks Luma variance below which quantisation boost (-Q) is used [0.0..2.0] Reduce hf resolution (increase quantization) by num (default: 0.0) Request custom or userspecified (from a file) quantization matrices show, only 1 spelling works as long option.
