-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.

 With the defaults, vpxenc will create low quality encodes, its bitrate is too low. It will have to be bumped up to get some good quality. With the defaults, vpxenc will create low quality encodes, its bitrate is too low. It will have to be bumped up to get some good quality.
  
-When using ffmpeg, pass ''​-b 0''​ (bitrate 0) so that it doesn'​t limit bitrate. Also use a CRF. For very high quality encodes, I'd say around 6 to 8.+SETTING crf and b:v 0 only works on VP9, DESPITE what the ffmpeg docs say.
