Filesize different using Preset?

Any idea why using a CLI Preset produces a much smaller file than the equivalent variables?
Example:
Code: Select all
HandBrakeCLI -i somedir -o somefile.m4v -Z --AppleTV -2 -T -L
produces a file 768MB
The longer equivalent (which I found on this forum)
Code: Select all
HandBrakeCLI -i somedir -o somefile.m4v -e x264 -b 2500 -E aac+ac3 -f mp4 -4 -m -p -x bframes=3:ref=1:subme=5:me=umh:no-fast-pskip=1:trellis=1:cabac=0 -2 -T -L
produces a file 2.09GB

Thanks for your reply, but that appears to have no bearing on the file size. When I added the quotes, the file size is exactly the same.
Also, CLI seems to run fine without the quotes.

This
--AppleTV
Should be this
--preset="AppleTV"

Wow, Jon. You wake up on the wrong side of the bed or what?
Thanks for your help.
