The `--preset` option in `transcode-video` controls the x264 video encoder, not the other preset system built into HandBrake. It takes a preset name as its single argument:

The x264 preset names (mostly) reflect their relative speed compared to the default, `medium`.

Presets faster than `medium` trade precision and compression efficiency for more speed. That tradeoff is acceptable for the `fast` preset. But you may notice occasional quality loss problems when using the `faster` or `veryfast` presets.

However, you can increase encoding speed by 70-80% with no easily perceptible loss in video quality by using the `--quick` option instead:
|

transcode-video --quick "/path/to/Movie.mkv"

Presets slower than `medium` trade encoding speed for more precision and compression efficiency. Any quality improvement using these presets may not be perceptible for most input.
|
469
464
|
|
465
|

A faster and more perceptible way to improve quality is to simply raise the target video bitrate 50% by using the `--target big` option and argument macro:

* Increase the speed and quality of the `--quick` option. Encoding is now _70-80% faster_ than the default setting with _no easily perceptible loss in video quality_. The improvement is so good that I no longer recommend using x264 presets to speed things up. Via [ #104](https://github.com/donmelton/video_transcoding/issues/104).

* Update the "README" document to:

* Revise the "Understanding the x264 preset system" section to suggest using `--quick` or `--target big` instead of faster or slower presets.
