- I've had good results with Q=22 and deblocking/cabac, about 50% reduction in size compared to 2-pass 1280 kbps with no visible compression artifacts, and since it's done in one pass, it goes much quicker.
Hmm. That's interesting. Can you upload a sample clip? 2 minutes is long enough.
By the way I sometimes use CQ 1 pass. For most of the Bluray rip so that way I could keep resolution high and still have nice looking video. I don't give a crap what filesize I get at end. I'm just glad with quality I will be getting. (Not only that, but it's also faster too, just like you stated.)
I think I should figure out what bitrate each CQ number would spit out.
