the placebo encode is about 5% bigger than my custom settings encode, yet i still see more detail in the custom settings encode.
i do wonder how these settings would do on benwaggners encoding challenge, against Sagittaire's 4 pass encode ABR settings... or maybe my settings customized into an ABR friendly customization for a 4 pass encode that also removes grain... sadly no space for png copies of tears of steel. i would like to see 4k comparisons as well.
