The settings are 1 to 1 taken over from $ strings < b.mp4 | grep x264 > after it was created by HandBrake. Basically also the same what Moritz posted > ("[...] .org/x264.html - options: cabac=1 [...] aq=1:1.00"). Also, removing > "-q" doesn't make it better. Of course not, because bitrate 1000 disables -q 23 >>> Anyway HandBrake is offtopic and I don't think it makes sense to try get it >>> running. Better to get straight x264 running.
