 CBR and VBR modes are supported, though the output of them varies significantly by driver and device (default is VBR, set `-maxrate` equal to `-b:v` for CBR).  HRD buffering options (rc_max_rate, rc_buffer_size) are functional, and the encoder will generate buffering_period and pic_timing SEI when appropriate.
 
-There is no complete analogue of the `-preset` option.  The `-quality` option controls local encode quality (that is, the amount of effort expended on trying to get the best results from local choices like motion estimation and mode decision), using a nebulous per-device scale.   The argument is a small integer, from 1 up to some limit dependent on the device (not more than 8) - higher values are faster / lower stream quality.  Separately, some hardware (Intel gen9) supports a separate low-power mode with more restricted features.  It is accessible via the `-low_power` option.

 Neither two-pass encoding nor lookahead are supported at all - only local rate control is possible.  VBR mode should do a reasonably good job at getting close to an overall bitrate target, but quality will vary significantly through a stream if the complexity varies.
