I insist on using crf because it takes only half the time of 2pass encoding and more importantly it compresses more efficiently creating a vbr video which keeps the quality constant taking less size than a 2pass encoded cbr video.and that's exactly what I want.you are saying that there will be difference between re-encoded and the source video,no matter what settings we choose,right?but how to choose the right crf value for a video to be almost identical to the source,ie which isn't too high to waste bits and create size more than source or too low for quality loss.handbrake's recommended values for hd videos are 22+/-1.but that didn't work for me.is my technique right?are there any recommendations about the settings I chose?
