 By default, ''vpxenc'' will use 2-pass method for encoding. By default, ''vpxenc'' will use 2-pass method for encoding.
  
-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.

 By default, HandBrake uses a CQ of 22. By default, HandBrake uses a CQ of 22.

 +HandBrake will only use 2-passes if a bitrate is set as well.

 +==== ffmpeg ====
 +
 +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
 +</code>
