Comment on Handbrake local vs docker on Synology DS920+: same settings, very different results?

IIRC, presets are machine dependent, or at least they are optimized for the hardware. So if you have a weak machine, veryfast will use even worse encoding because you’re simply saying “I just want it done fast”, while on a more robust machine it may take more liberties. To match it completely I think you need to disregard the presets and set everything yourself, like CRF and everything.

Is there a way to disable the preset completely? There’s no “none” option, just “speed, balanced, and quality”, but I set everything else up manually.
