--preset WTF! is right. What a mashed up selection of options.

I encode mostly anime. For HQ encodes I use:
--preset veryslow --tune animation --crf 16~22 --qcomp 0.75 --psnr --ssim

For --crf 26~35 I tune down AQ and psy-rdo. I'm thinking about add --no-fast-pskip to my encodes based on this thread. Sometimes I also change the deblocking strenght a little, 1 up or down.

For temporary lossless encoding, I usually use:
--preset veryfast --tune fastdecode --qp 0 --keyint 50

I defined this before the --preset superfast was created, so I don't know if it is an better choice now.

Sorry about this rant but I've been programming in C/C++ for 15 years and it sometimes turns my stomach when I look at the code of some of these 'GUIs'.

SEE... I TOLD you that you were very 'experienced'!

Heh heh... No, no... I was reading the thread anyway

Besides, you are on almost ALL of them anyway; an amoeba with a stump could find one of your posts...
