Subject: Make initial q_index guess at 128
X-Git-Tag: v1.10.0-rc1~86
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e3ae48b861d18badb414c8fbe201e5c4aafb5180;p=libvpx

Make initial q_index guess at 128

This reduce the average recode times per frame from 2.81 to 2.73
when targeting 15% error for target bitrate per frame.
