So even clearer description could be:

+.B quant_type=<h263|mpeg>
+Sets the type of quantizer to use.
+For high bitrates, you will find that MPEG quantization preserves
+more detail.
+For low bitrates, the smoothing of H.263 will give you less block
+noise.
+When using custom matrices, MPEG quantization must be used.

Do we agree that <h263|mpeg> sums up what are the parameters available?
