I was driving myself insane trying to replicate the quality I got from a recent encode. To save time I only encoded a small chapter to do the comparison.
No matter what I did, the quality was always worse. Even with placebo-style settings that were theoretically better than the comparison's settings it turned out worse.
Frustrated, thinking I would never get these settings back again, I decided to encode the full-length file again - and the quality was way better, matching the comparison encode.
Why would this be happening?
