"Max file size" creates incorrect sizes

[MarkJeronimus]

Describe the bug

When I set "Max file size" to 8MB, the files become 1MB. When I set it to 50MB, the files become 5.6MB. The files consistently become about 8× smaller than configured.

Settings applied It happens both after clean install, and after playing with about every (video) setting I could find.

App Logs My last command line for a 12s video that became 5.6MB with the "50MB" setting is: ffmpeg -y -i <filename>.mp4 -preset medium -c:a copy -crf 23 -b:a 192k -maxrate 4074k -bufsize 4074k -vf

File used Recorded with Samsung Camera (35s / ~80MB)), then trimmed to 12s/30MB using Google Photos app:

$ ffprobe -v quiet -print_format json -show_format -show_streams <filename>.mp4
