I- and B-frames are offset from this value by ip_factor and pb_factor, respectively.
20\-40 is a useful range (default: 26).
Lower values result in better fidelity, but higher bitrates.

+Note that quantization in H.264 works differently from MPEG-1/2/4.
H.264's quantization parameter (QP) is on a logarithmic scale.
As an example, the bitrate difference between QP=20 and QP=40
is about a factor of 10.

In H.264, I-frames do not necessarily bound a closed GOP because it is

frame before it (also see frameref).
