Each test was ~5 sec holding (fairly) still and ~5sec panning.

http://www.zshare.net/download/8494333574e32e8b/DEF - quality set to "default", no override
QNN - quality override value.
Frames grabbed with avimux as bmp, converted to png with irfanview. Frame 195 was grabbed form each video (from the panning segment)
Lighting was poor, overcast through window + incandescent. Shutter speed may have impacted panning shots slightly, but by comparison to the still shots doesn't seem too significant.
conclusions:
- Low quality override definitely works. File size is greatly reduced, at the expense of image quality.
- Difference between higher quality and default is marginal. I think I can see some difference between 98 and default looking at the frame grabs, but even if it's real it's very subtle. I don't see it have any value for most uses, at least not on this kind of scene.
- Based on file size, default doesn't appear to be 84.
