"Q" stands for "Quantization". Quantization is mathmatical means for accomplishing analog to digital conversion and data compression. Raising the "Q" increases the compression, while (generally) lowering the quality. If you're really interested there is a paper on it here. (http://www-isl.stanford.edu/~gray/q.pdf)
