Running it with qscale 100 yields about the same output rate.
It's odd, though...you'd think it would be able to just pixelate the
output more and achieve basically any bitrate.

Anyway, the problem is not that it can't compress more, the problem
(in my eyes) is that after specifying a target, it doesn't hit it and
doesn't tell you why...leaving you wondering if it accepted the target
in the first place, since it appears to be ignoring it...
