This topic is related to posts Scene detection video recombine ignores export quality settings and Starlight cloud export ignore output resolution settings . The post provides log entries regarding the where I think the issue may exist.
I have Topaz Video 1.6.0 installed.
I dug into the log for the job that didn’t recombine the videos at the same bitrate and found these lines:

The most likely reason is either wrong type (e.g. a video option with no video streams) or that it is a private option of some decoder which was not actually used for any stream.

I also found the following entries a few lines above:

I can provide the snippet of the log I think pertains or the entire job log.
Thanks!
