 +==== Notes ====
 +
 +Both VP8 and [[VP9]] are a bit confusing on how to get good encodes related to specific levels of quality, when using the documentation and ''vpxenc'' help output as references.
 +
 +In it's simplest approach, if using ''vpxenc'', use ''max-q'' as the target CRF -- the encoder won't drop quality below that level (starts at 0, ends at 63).
 +
 +For ''ffmpeg'', use ''-crf'' with your number and ''-b:v 0'' is required.
 +
 +For HandBrake, use ''-q'' with your CRF. I can't tell from docs or the code if it's passing anything about min-q and max-q to the encoder, but I don't think it is. I think it's using libavcodec to do crf=X and then b:v of 0.
