That command line doesn't actually include the <i><b>slower </b></i>profile, which is at least partially, why the file is larger. FYI with the x264 codec the crf option determines the overall quality which has a size implication and the speed profile enables/disables things to reach that quality level in different ways with the slowest profiles offering much better compression for the same crf value. There's almost no gain from slower to slowest in my testing apart from being really really slow :) Slower did a really good job in a reasonable time on the quad-core systems.<br>
<br>I know there were some issues with the cmd line options changing and poor documention, plus either rebuilding or reverting to the distro version - you'll need to do some investigating...<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Original is 1:22 long, so longer than normal, but not trouble or
triple. I used the same script we used last month, and before:<br>
