Handbrake local vs docker on Synology DS920+: same settings, very different results? (lemmy.ca)

I'm hoping someone could shed some light as to what's going on here.

I was able to get Handbrake installed on my Synology DS920+ NAS with Intel Quick Sync support. Using the exact same settings that I do on my local installation of Handbrake, the file size and end results appear vastly different.

I've tested different video files, but also the exact same one.

For example:

Original file H.264 1.3 GiB 18.1MBits/s bitrate
Handbrake local H.265 459 MiB 6.42 Mbits/s bitrate
Handbrake docker H.265 973 MiB 13.6 Mbits/s bitrate

My settings are:

Video encoder: H.265 (Intel QSV)
Framerate: Same as source
Variable framerate
Preset: Quality
Constant Quality: ICQ 32
Multi-pass encoding enabled.
Profile: Auto
Level: Auto
Filters: off
Dimensions: default (no resize, rescale, etc.)
Audio: AAC (avcodec) (mono)
Web optimized: Yes
Align A/V start: Yes
Passthrough Common Metadata: Yes

Is there an oversight that I'm missing that could explain this? I'd rather use the Docker version, since it doesn't tie up my main laptop.

Sorry I usually work directly with ffmpeg and that's how I had the hunch, those presets are h264 presets that go in. But does it matter, you said you were only curious, I think that's why, so now you know
