Thanks — fantastic resource! I’m trying to encode video with very hard edges (like graphic rectangles, etc) and don’t want the weird blurry-ness that seems to result. Running at –qscale 1 doesn’t seem to do a whole lot there. Anyone have some suggestions?

[…] Also, http://www.kilobitspersecond.com/2007/05/24/ffmpeg-quality-comparison/ does a very good job of looking into the different qscale options. […]

I’ve downloaded “Lupe (4k resolution).mp” from youtube. I’m using a script I’m transcoding from h264 to mpeg but varying the qscale from 1 to 31. The script is only at –qscale 10 now, but I got a bizarre step in the resulting filesize at –qscale 7. ie:

crc@crc-fsmanager:~/sageMedia> ls –lat *q*
–rw-r–r– 1 crc users 374580661 Dec 9 11:07 Lupe.4kq9.mp4
–rw-r–r– 1 crc users 389301775 Dec 9 11:02 Lupe.4kq8.mp4
–rw-r–r– 1 crc users 407061843 Dec 9 10:56 Lupe.4kq7.mp4
–rw-r–r– 1 crc users 276467924 Dec 9 10:50 Lupe.4kq6.mp4
–rw-r–r– 1 crc users 309350328 Dec 9 10:45 Lupe.4kq5.mp4
–rw-r–r– 1 crc users 362690494 Dec 9 10:40 Lupe.4kq4.mp4
–rw-r–r– 1 crc users 455177388 Dec 9 10:36 Lupe.4kq3.mp4
–rw-r–r– 1 crc users 663858946 Dec 9 10:31 Lupe.4kq2.mp4
–rw-r–r– 1 crc users 668366746 Dec 9 10:25 Lupe.4kq1.mp4

Any idea why the jump in filesize at –qscale 7?

I forgot to mention you can hack and remix it and compromise the security system’s DRM and weak crypto so it can play Rick Astley with a Cthultu-zombie theme
