General usage is to choose the highest CRF value that still provides an acceptable quality. The range is exponential, so increasing the CRF value +6 is roughly half the bitrate while -6 is roughly twice the bitrate. Consider 18 to be visually lossless or nearly so: it should look the same or nearly the same as the input but it isn't technically lossless. A lower value is a higher quality and a subjectively sane range is 18-28. The range of the quantizer scale is 0-51: where 0 is lossless, 23 is default, and 51 is worst possible. The downside is that you can't tell it to get a specific filesize or not Go over a specific size or bitrate. Each frame gets the bitrate it needs to keep the requested quality level. This provides maximum compression efficiency with a single pass. This method allows the encoder to attempt to achieve a certain output quality for the whole file when output file size is of less importance. If you need help compiling and installing libx264 see one of our FFmpeg and x264 compiling guides. This will determine the file size and also how quality is distributed. The rate control is a method that will decide how many bits will be used for each frame. There are two rate control modes that are usually suggested for general use: Constant Rate Factor (CRF) or Two-Pass ABR. The goal of this guide is to inform new users how to create a high-quality H.264 video using the encoder x264. Overwriting default preset settings.
And I cant really distinguish the quality. With medium being the slowest encoding time. Using some sample trials of encoding a minute starting from middle of some videos using -ss and -t, these 4 settings yields about the same filesize. Of these 4 setting which one do you think is best? I am preparing for a batch script to process hundreds of videos and leave it in days, so I am currently contemplating between these presets to avoid regret. And is it normal that with preset veryfast and beyond, it yields a much more smaller filesize?. In x265 Is there a real benefits of quality between preset fast and faster? It felt weird because it doesnt really change much in terms of speed.
This is very different in my x264 experience where presets doesnt affect much in filesize so I usually settle for either slow or medium. While preset veryfast looks worse but significantly smaller filesize I found that using same crf value, the output of preset fast and faster looks pretty similar to my eyes, but with different filesize (the faster preset yields slightly smaller filesize). Now I am trying x265 and experimenting with crf 20 - 24 and preset fast to veryfast. Hello, I quite new in doing things with ffmpeg and I would like to ask a few questionīackground: I experienced encoding using handbrake and x264 few years ago, mainly using crf 18-22 with preset medium - slow.
