I sometimes feel that many settings are based on squeezing everything out of the material with the least possible amount of bits, even if it means oversmoothing etc. which can then be irritating to others (like me).
Can I ask what settings do you use for 4k HDR encodes? I mean like --aq-strength --qcomp and CFR. I would like to know for example aq-strength is depends of bitrate or not. Cuz with low bitrate video may be very blocky and requires high aq-strength, but what about for bitrate ~ 20-22mb?
I usually use aq-strength 0.8 and I'm thinking should I raise it to 0.9 or even 1.0?
