Thanks for your reply.

I hardly believe my cpu cannot encode vp9 properly, since cpu does not go
beyond 100% while using h264 uses more than 300% cpu.

Also, h264 encoding produces a very good video output but audio stutters
and is very unclear. There are gaps in the middle...

Also, setting -video_size 480x240 seems to have no effect at all. How can I
change output video size?
