I've opened a feature request:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=525299

As mentioned here, if automatically changing the quality is not
possible, virt-manager could have a drop-down menu somewhere where users
could select:

- Best Quality
- Medium Quality
- Low Quality

I think this could be much simpler to implement.
