Theora Decoder

Theora can encode video with several quality parameters. So when that encoded video is decoding it should be looked at quality value. For a single video, decoder get first frame quality value for all video frame or decoder get each quality value for each frame?

Each frame transmits and uses up to three different qi (quantizer
indexes) pre frame.  The macroblocks in each frame may use any of the
three transmitted values.

The qi are not really 'quality' parameters, although they are chosen
by the encoder to implement the requested quality constraint.  The
quality and bitrate constraints may change from frame to frame.
