In all your subsequent discussion I haven't seen that you actually tried
the option mentioned in the title of this thread, namely crf.  Why not?
 If I read the source correctly, it looks like it should be a straight
map to the cq-level option of vpxenc (or what ever its name is).

You used --cq-level 20 in your latest email.  Have you tried -crf 20
with ffmpeg?
