| Parameter | Recommended | Why for S03E04 | |-----------|-------------|----------------| | -crf | 28–32 (web), 18–22 (archive) | The dark warehouse scenes cause banding – lower CRF preserves gradients. | | -row-mt 1 | Always enable | Speeds up encoding on multi-core CPUs (significant for 45-min episode). | | -tile-columns 4 | Add for 1080p | Improves parallel encoding. | | -g 240 | Keyframe interval | Helps with fast action (Jordan’s flight scenes). | | -deadline best | For final encode | Slower but reduces artifacts in Lois’s skin tones (cancer storyline has many close-ups). | ffmpeg -i "Superman_and_Lois_S03E04
