The base matrices are interpolated over a range of qi values. The two
matrices are the values to use at the start and end of the range. Since
they are the same, this yields a constant matrix, in accordance with the
design of VP3. This may change in future versions of the encoder, since
it is well known that the relative importance of high frequency
coefficients is very different near the visibility threshold than far
above it.
