I'm a bit confused as Bhavnahari stated that "refine-inter and refine-intra features may be used with any rate control techniques including ABR, CRF and CQP". Why would you do a 2-step encode in CRF mode to utilize the refining? Shouldn't a normal CRF encode already bring all the quality you can get from your settings with the least amount of time spent on encoding or analysing?
