I plan to reencode movies from my camera and my phone (mov,mp4,ts)(in FHD and 4K) to universal format that will work on tv/phone/laptop.
I would like to tweak x264 settings to make quality and compression better (also with audio in stereo):
-v1 -f av_mp4 -m -e x264 --x264-preset veryslow --x264-tune film -q 13 --encoder-level=4.1 -E fdk_aac -B 320 -Q 100 --mixdown stereo -R 48
Can I tweak something more except "-q 13"?

Re: Tweak encoding settings for best quality and compression
"Universal format", but you fail to identify which of the target devices has the most limitations.

Re: Tweak encoding settings for best quality and compression
Those settings that I provided are working on all of them.
Even specification that I found for my TV is not more specific than:
*.mp4 MP4
H.264 BP / MP / HP
1920x1080 6 ~ 30 fps
25 Mbps
MP3 /ADPCM /AAC
MPEG4
SP / ASP
1920x1080 6 ~ 30 fps
8 Mbps
MP3 /ADPCM /AAC
XVID
1920x1080
6 ~ 30 fps
8 Mbit
MP3 /ADPCM /AAC

-q 13 is silly

Re: Tweak encoding settings for best quality and compression
For me constant quality is better, I have some movies that have a lot of movement and some that are slow moving.
For two pass encoding I would need to pick a good bitrate for those.

Re: Tweak encoding settings for best quality and compression
If those settings are meeting your goal, what is the issue?
Regardless of the source resolution, with the destination being limited to 1920x1080, "Blu-ray quality" would be obtainable with an RF value of 16 to 18. Using 13 may not be silly, but, given the targets, unnecessary.
