    1919=== 2. Choose a preset === 
    20 A preset is a collection of options that will provide a certain encoding speed:compression ratio. A slower preset will provide better compression (compression is quality per filesize). General usage is to use the slowest preset that you have patience for. Current presets in descending order of speed are: `ultrafast`, `superfast`, `veryfast`, `faster`, `fast`, `medium`, `slow`, `slower`, `veryslow`, `placebo`. Ignore `placebo` as it is a joke and a waste of time (see FAQ).

    50 As with CRF, choose the slowest preset you can tolerate. Obviously, if you increase the target bitrate, that will increase quality, too, up to some threshold.

    52 Also see [http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/menc-feat-dvd-mpeg4.html Making a high quality MPEG-4 ("DivX") rip of a DVD movie]. It is an MEncoder guide, but it will give you an insight about how important it is  to use two pass when you want to efficiently use every bit when you constrained with storage space.
