<p>I'm trying to squeeze a little better quality out of my time lapses generated by OctoPrint.</p>

<p>I'm using the Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2 with a Pi 3. I've already edited the Octopi config to get 720p resolution, but the encoding during time lapse rendering is horrific. Blocky as hell.</p>

<p>Right now the encoding is set up at 5000k.
What am I doing wrong here?</p>
