What is CRF FFmpeg?

Constant rate factor (CRF) is an encoding mode that adjusts the file data rate up or down to achieve a selected quality level rather than a specific data rate. This tells FFmpeg to encode at a quality level of 23, but to cap the data rate at 6750 kbps with a VBV buffer of 4500 kbps.

What CRF to use?

Choose a higher CRF. A change of ±6 should result in about half/double the file size, although your results might vary. You should use CRF encoding primarly for offline file storage, in order to achieve the most optimal encodes. For other applications, other rate control modes are recommended.
