 Summary of the bug: With the newer versions of ffmpeg the -sameq option no
 longer work, it says unrecognized option.
 Has this been removed intentionally or accidentally?
 If intentionally how can one replicate the functionality (copy does not
 work since I'm transcoding  from mpeg4 to mpeg2 and use the same
 quantizers to keep a relatively good quality of transcoding).

 PS - I'm setting this to important since it's a regression bug. All my
 conversions rely on this flag for a successful conversion

 How to reproduce:
 ffmpeg.x86 -i Revolution_KGWDT_-tmp.wtv -vcodec mpeg2video -sameq -an
 test.ts
