It seems that description of x264 encoding options is slightly 
outdated. Into paragraph "Options which primarily affect speed and 
quality" in description of the subq opion anyone can see:
----------
subq=6 is the slowest, highest quality mode.
----------

But in the manual:
----------
6    Enables  rate-distortion optimization of macroblock types in 
I- and P-frames.
7    Enables rate-distortion optimization of motion  vectors  and  
intra modes. (best)
----------
So, subq=7 seems to be the highest quality mode. Probably it sould 
be describded instead of subq=6. Or its quality gain is negligible 
in comparision with speed loss and it is considered as 
unrecommended?
