I've tried transcoding a 2:21:19 movie via this script:

SET codecs=-codec:v libx265 -x265-params crf=16:qcomp=1.00 -codec:a copy 
-codec:s copy -dn

FWIW I could not help but notice that you effectivly degrade crf to
constant quantizer. Might as well use:

-x265-params qp=16

See https://x265.readthedocs.io/en/master/cli.html#cmdoption-qcomp

Thanks, Peter!

What these directives actually mean is a bit hazy to me.

Is there a functional relationship between 'crf' and 'qcomp'?
Perhaps qp = crf/qcomp?

What would the units be?
'crf' would be frames/s I suppose. The others: ????? ...something to do with quantizing and compressing, but I don't have much of a clue regarding what is quantized, how it is quantized and what is compressed.

Basically, I understand processes via the input and output units. Without units, I don't know what a process does. It just becomes tossed word-salad.
