31 gives the worst quality possible, so why let it be 31 when the codec is gonna choose only max quantiser=6 anyways?

Thats what I have noticed when I am ripping...
Well for one thing, imagine if you have a few seconds of solid black in your video. If it uses quant 31, you lose nothing but gain a whole lot of space. I've seen the quant go all the way up to 15 and never noticed a single scene in that video where it looked like it was quantized too high. It's best just to leave the max quantizer alone.
