It's what I have tried to explain above. Thanks for the confirmation.

Yep. I have noticed my error, and modified my previous post while you were replying.

I agree that it's not easy. But normally, CRF 21.5 is always less good than CRF 20, right?
But I don't know if "Constant" in CRF is important. I wonder if the computed ratefactor during pass 1 is strictly equivalent to the CRF value in CRF mode?
