First of all, I am not doing 2 pass encoding. I am using the CRF option.
They say for constant quality encoding, you will save bitrate by choosing a
slower preset. A slower preset will provide better compression.
ultrafast
superfast
veryfast
faster
fast
medium – default preset
slow
slower
veryslow
placebo
I do not care about compression or files size. But I do care about quality.
If I choose a CRF of 20, and I use the "veryslow" preset, the quality will
still be the same if I choose a CRF of 20 and use the "superfast" preset?
The same with this. If I choose a CRF of 10, and I use the "veryslow"
preset, the quality will still be the same if I choose a CRF of 10 and use
the "superfast" preset?
Is this correct about the quality please?
