Great information, many thanks
I think this is where I was seeing mixed messages about QC vs RF. I started at about 30 on a test scene (BTTF Marty showing the Doc the Delorean. High contrast dark scene with fog, moonlight, a torch, and it looked terrible. Chessboard Terrible.
I actually ended up at QC60 before it looked serviceable to me. Comparing the encodes, I couldn't see a difference in the test. File size was about the same and was less than my past H264 encode settings.
It was 144fps vs 1.07fps for the encode, so I don't know if the speed is causing bias to think the acceleration looks great.
