Question / Help Encoding Question

[Unreal54]

When I go to Settings > Encoding > Video Encoding > Quality Balance and then the drop down from 0-10, my assumption is that 0 is the XSplit equivalent of 'Not Set' and 10 being the equivalent as XSplit's 10?

The only way to set it to "not set" is by using CBR.

Otherwise, 0-10 just sets CRF to 30-20 (0 being 30, 10 being 20). I usually recommend 5 as the best balance

(edit, removed note about "typing in crf=0")

Thank you very much for the quick reply Jim! Much appreciated.

crf=0 is actually lossless mode, don't do that :).
