Yeah, h264_nvenc, but good luck getting any quality in 4MB. Not like the speed advantage really matters when the video you're encoding is maybe 20s. Come to think of it, even 2 pass libvpx-vp9 is not that bad because again, the video is only like 30s or so. Still, I'm that lazy.

>>110215705
ffmpeg was originally kicked off by Bellard who very famously hates and does not abide by POSIX or GNU option conventions. The order of the options is semantic, and that comes into play here by -ss essentially fast seeking to the start point if it's before -i, or actually decoding the file from the start if the other way around. You used to be able to get around this for very long files of interest using -i -ss -i but in 6.0 they intentionally broke that and you can still use -i twice for the same file but it will re load it each time.

Huh, I always somewhat skeptical of av1 so I tried encoding a clip of something fairly grainy (Aliens 1986) and I used libsvtav1, preset 4, crf 18 and yuv420p10le and I was surprised and how fast it was. 23fps on my 12400f.

Lately I've been having issues with webms using WebMConverter(aka Lazy, aka Baka, aka Retard) when it comes to older anime and its subtitles. The timings always go way off but if I try with newer anime, I have no problems. My guess is whatever it is groups were doing back in the 2000's is causing the subtitles to mess up. Is there a way to adjust the subtitle timings? Nothing wrong with the shows themselves, its just when making webms with older anime I have this problem.

>>110225586
it's not very good at using all of the specified size

>>110228369
Forcing constant bitrate is retarded for most codecs though. You'll go back to the days of blocky dynamic scenes again.

>>110228393
I agree most encoders produce worse results with CBR but it is not the case for libvpx-vp9 since it's not trully constant

Everything is just a frontend for ffmpeg anyway so instead of using random UIs just make a few shell scripts (or bats on Jeetdows) that cater to your specific needs. Or in current year you can just ask any AI to vibeslop you an ffmpeg frontend that has the exact features you want.
