 rate is the filesize
 distortion is the quality

+lambda is a fixed value chosen as a tradeoff between quality and filesize
 Is this equivalent to finding the best quality for a given max
 filesize? The answer is yes. For each filesize limit there is some lambda
 factor for which minimizing above will get you the best quality (using your
