-As far as I can tell, there's no default when using CQ mode. I don't know what variables it's using for default when doing a 1-pass encode.+To gain a CRF-type result, use ''--end-usage=cq --cq-level=<arg>'' format, and then a 1-pass encode ''--passes=1'' Using this, ''vpxenc'' uses a default CQ of 32.

 +I get different encoding times on multiple runs, even though it's producing the exact same files, so watch out for that.

 +You can use ''ffmpeg'' to get a deep level of output to see what it's doing, it uses the default CRF of 32:

 +<code>
 +ffmpeg -loglevel debug -i sample.y4m -vcodec libvpx-vp9 sample.webm
