Maybe it's possible with the -CLI version. I wonder what settings the

"-threads n" and see how it scales.
(lib)x264 inserts information about its complete settings into a
private part of the stream, as a human-readable string. Either use
mediainfo, which exposes this, or simply:
$ strings < file.mp4 | grep x264
You will get something like this:
$ strings < someoddfileifound.mp4 | grep x264

Good luck constructing a command line from that. ;-) At least you can
compare settings, perhaps only two or three differ.
Thanks for the info.
First I tried the GUI, enabled the Advanced tab and added threads but it
was ignored.
Then I tried the CLI:
$ time HandBrakeCLI -i a.mp4 -o b.mp4 -e x264 -q 23 --x264-preset
ultrafast --encopts
cabac=1:ref=3:deblock=1:0:0:analyse=0x3:0x113:me=hex:subme=7:psy=1:psy_rd=1.00:0.00:mixed_ref=1:me_range=16:chroma_me=1:trellis=1:8x8dct=1:cqm=0:deadzone=21,11:fast_pskip=1:chroma_qp_offset=-2:threads=6:lookahead_threads=1:sliced_threads=0:nr=0:decimate=1:interlaced=0:bluray_compat=0:constrained_intra=0:bframes=3:b_pyramid=2:b_adapt=1:b_bias=0:direct=1:weightb=1:open_gop=0:weightp=2:keyint=300:keyint_min=30:scenecut=40:intra_refresh=0:rc_lookahead=40:rc=abr:mbtree=1:bitrate=1000:ratetol=1.0:qcomp=0.60:qpmin=0:qpmax=69:qpstep=4:ip_ratio=1.40:aq=1:1.00
but about half of the settings were ignored.
Anyway HandBrake is offtopic and I don't think it makes sense to try get
it running. Better to get straight x264 running. If someone is
interested in porting these commands to x264 that would be nice. I think
often adding a "--" before the name should work, I tried this with a few
commands, but some commands were unknown to x264.
Anyway the scaling, as we figured out a few emails ago, is a x264
problem, not ffmpeg's, so it's "solved" here. Thanks everyone.
