libx264-max2.ffpreset

# My excessive ffmpeg conversion preset for high quality H264 files.
#
# Generally follows the "max" preset, with some values completely cracked
# out (me_range=32 *is* excessive). Leaves refs at 4 (since iPhone/iPad
# does not support higher values) and 8x8 DCT is disabled so that we 
# end up with a file that is in the H264 Main profile.
#
# Save this as ~/.ffmpeg/libx264-max2.ffpreset
#
# Example use. (CRF determines filesize: lower CRF->higher quality and larger file. 22-24 results in ~1.5 to 2.0 Mbps.)
