Sidenote:

8 eps at crf 21 turned out to be +2000

- If at CRF 21 the resulting video's average bitrate is above
2000 kbps, CRF value of 23 MUST be used.

but then

5.3.5) For TV season/volume sets the CRF value used must be the same for
all episodes, however for a maximum of 25% of the total episodes
different CRF values can be used to allow for variations in source
material, compressibility etc.

25% <- why entrusting to a number the choice ?

25% of 21 eps is 5,25, that leave 2,75 eps not complying with this draft-ruleset,
why ? yes, we could have encoded the whole set at 23

- If at CRF 21 the resulting video's average bitrate is above
1500 kbps, CRF values of 22-23 MAY be used.

but in our opinion (ripper discretion), this set looks good and
similar in size/bitrate (no need to have episodes with same runtime
differing in size up to 400 mb), encoding

Part1/4/8/10/14/15/18/21 @CRF23

and

Part2/3/5/6/7/9/11/12/13/16/17/19/20  @CRF22

crf most of the time is an asset sometime it can become a liability and
we can't predict any possible scenario in a ruleset, that is why,
in borderline circumstances "ripper discretion" could and should be encouraged

since ruleset is not official yet, we took the liberty to choose a tiny
more liberal way to release this set, a codec can do only the tech part,
we have to do the thinking.
