That's because the effects are hard... in general, I find it much easier than trying to fiddle with ffmpeg or similar.
I tend to rip most things with one of two configs I have.. one for br/1080p, another for DVD, and I have a tweaked DVD for bad content (Think Babylon 5)... It took a while to find settings I generally like. I've also taken to letting things run for h.265, since I'm pretty concerned about the space on my nas.
If you aren't trying to match YIFY on your sizes, then you can get away with being a bit more loose on your configs.
