It is also common, particularly on lower-end or older hardware, for the CPU to be a bottleneck which will cause lower than expected performance.

## Decoder Limitations
HandBrake will automatically fallback to software decoding when any filter is enabled in the pipline. This includes the crop/scale filter.
## Advanced options ## Advanced options
The NVIDIA NVENC hardware encoder has a limited set of advanced encoder options. Generally speaking, it is not recommended to change these parameters, as the built-in presets offer a good range of options for common uses.
