Replying to myself.... but here's what I found... The devs repeat over and over that the "-sameq" argument didn't do what appeared to do, except by pure happenstance, so they removed it... or something like that. ;)
Instead, they suggest you should become an expert in video codecs and find/use only the arguments that suite the exact formats of video you are going to and from.
A bit beyond my desire.... ;)
Anyway, I did find the "-qscale" option with the "best" (1) setting seems to keep the quality of video conversions up.
For my purposes of converting YT .mp4 videos to .avi's, I'm finding this syntax yields high quality results that work well in DVPlayer:
ffmpeg -i ram:input.mp4 -qscale 1 ram:output.avi
OTOH, the files get rather large... ;)
Good luck,
PJS
