Macroblock decision algorithm (high quality mode), encode each macro
block in all modes and choose the best.
This is slow but results in better quality and file size.
+When mbd is set to 1 or 2, the value of mbcmp is ignored when comparing
+macroblocks.
+If any comparison setting (precmp, subcmp, cmp, or mbcmp) is nonzero,
+however, a slower but better half-pel motion search will be used,
+regardless of what mbd is set to.
+If qpel is set, quarter-pel motion search will be used regardless.
