| * avconv: remove -same_quantAnton Khirnov2012-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | It has not worked for anything other than fringe codecs (asv1/2, mdec, mjpeg[b]) since about 2003 and nobody ever noticed or complained. This sufficiently proves that there are no users of this option who have a clue of what they are doing, so it is completely useless.
