Because a) the version of TMPGEnc I'm using doesn't have a "Constant 
Quality" setting for h.264 files, and b) using a "constant quantization" 
method causes the resulting video to not play on my machine.

Although, I just saw that outputting a quicktime .mov file (instead of 
.mp4) allows me to use h.264, and use a quality setting there.  I think 
I'll try that next...
