In the recent default branch builds, aq-mode default is now 2 instead of 1. Reading some on it, it seems (at least on paper) like a better mode to use: "applies separate aq-strength for each frame, based on the complexity of current frame. I tested on a short clip (10k frames) and it seems the avg bitrate with mode 2 is lower and avg qp is higher.
I'm not an expert so would appreciate comments on this.
The is also some feature called hevc-aq which I'm not sure what it does: Mode for HEVC Adaptive Quantization. Default disabled
Also see something called "no-splice" in mediainfo encoder settings, which I can't find any reference to in --full help.
