You might want to use the -ss and -t options to create short test encodes. -ss being the start time and -t being the duration — both in seconds. You probably don’t need to encode the entire video to determine what’s acceptable.

crf

• 0 = lossless
• 18 = visually lossless
• 23 = default
• 28 = sane low quality
• 51 = worst quality possible
• The range is exponential, so increasing the CRF value +6 results in roughly half the bitrate / file size, while -6 leads to roughly twice the bitrate.
