I'm posting the encoding on 3 profiles. While, standard and extreme didn't put up any warning, insane did -

WARNING:
There still occured 1 SCF clippings due to a restriction of StreamVersion 7.
Use the '--scale' method to avoid additional distortions. Note that this
file already has annoying distortions due to slovenly CD mastering.
What is SCF clipping? Why does it appear in insane profile? what should be the value of x? how is this value determined?
