Could not get the excellent @lisamelton's `transcode-video.rb` to work on my machine, because flatpak. My ruby skills are too rusty to enable me to adapt it, but it did spit out a proper set of HandBrakeCLI args for me, so I pasted those that into this:

It'll be interesting to see how long it takes to go through all my ripped TV shows...

If you're encoding content with #AV1 in #Handbrake and haven't been using enable-variance-boost=1 , you need to start. All the tinkering I've done with varying CRF values, adding or removing film grain, etc. to try and fix low-contrast areas when transcoding my Blurays has been negated by this option, even in content with lots of film grain and dark scenes.

Basically it's:

- CRF 20
- Preset 3
- enable-variance-boost=1

I've shared my Handbrake preset here:
