Can anyone tell me how to set the parameter --crf to get a reasonable encoding result?
Thanks!

The CRF value lives on the same scale as QP values, but that's only for convenience. It's purley an
interface decision, so it could live (for example) on a 0.0 to 1.0 scale just as well.
In any case, you'll have to find the (maximum possible) value that satisfies your eyes.
And also note that the CRF value depends on your other settings too! The same CRF value with, for example, a different "--preset" does
not necessarily give same quality.
