Worked example: MP4 handoff at CRF 23
- Example input
- 1920×1080 MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio; quality control CRF 23.
- Example output
A .mov container with yuv420p H.264 video, optional 128 kbps AAC audio, and fast-start metadata.
How to interpret it
Even when the codecs already look similar, the current workflow re-encodes streams for a deterministic result; it is not a lossless container-only remux.
