Five common mistakes

  1. Converting in the wrong direction — going from lossy back to lossless doesn't recover the lost data.
  2. Re-encoding the same file twice — quality drops each pass.
  3. Wrong quality preset — aggressive for archival, conservative for web. Easy to mix up.
  4. Forgetting to verify the output — open it, check it looks right, before committing.
  5. Stripping metadata you needed — copyright, color profile, timestamps. Worth knowing which ones to keep.
