Has anybody else experienced the issue that videos encoded with the M1 hardware encoder for h.264 will randomly be much larger than other times even when the videos are very similar and encoding is done with the exact same settings?
Got a tip for us?

Never get a problem with Handbrake Videobox. 1 time i had a not to Premiere importable mp4 but it was playable. Coded with Videoencoder: H.654 (x246)
Because the hardware encoder is using completely different settings for example RefFrames
did you work with quality or bitrate settings?
RF (software) and CQ (hardware) are also different.
both with 10000 kbps bitrate:

Same, here. For my archive I keep using software rendering, because i will use some settings to also get a better playback on Coreplayer for my G5 and G4.yes, I played around to get similar qualities from both but non-scientifically. Just with my eyeballs
I have optimized my settings for years to get the best results for me, and hardware rendering don#t give me the options.
@TzunamiOSX When using h.265 hardware encoder there is no problem, the output respects the target bit rate and is never suddenly much larger. Unfortunately Zoom doesn't allow choosing the codec.
