It's true that if you simply use it on it's simple form such as "ffmpeg -i in.mp4 out.mov" the default bitrate will favour creating small files that will have artefacts, as soon as you set the right option you get very nice results.

Can you share any typical settings you recommend? I’m experiencing small amounts of artifacts, would love to know of someone’s “safe default”. Thanks!

It's difficult because it depends on the player you will use and the destination codec.

I keep a document with arguments I use for each of my use case.
