I have zero experience with those two products but when it comes to transcoding there are various toggles that affect the quality and speed.

It looks also like commercial products generally optimize for speed while open source tends to be more concerned about quality.

Of course this could be completely wrong in this case but that's the general tendency I noticed. Do they allow to change settings?
