Shame, don't understand the qmax issue. but if you look at:-

tests/lavf_regression.sh line 90

you will see an IMX30 example which uses -qmax 12 and my other other
parameters. However not sure what difference closed/open gop makes on I
frame only, but being purist I can see how you might want to set closed
gop! S356m makes no reference to it that I can see.

Looks like we might need a patch for what you want.
