We've looked far and wide, but weren't able to find a definitive answer... what default settings are used for unmodifiable or non-present attributes in the "Simple" output mode in OBS Studio? For example, what in the Simple mode is used behind the scenes for....

Rate control?
Buffer size?
Keyframe interval?
Profile (baseline,main,high)?
Tune?
Variable framerate (VFR)?
Rescale output?
Enforce custom service settings?

We're currently narrowing down some issues our customers are seeing with freezing, stuttering, and buffering, and want to make clearer distinctions between Simple and settings we can have them modify in Advanced mode. We can recommend Advanced output mode if need be, but want to know exactly which settings will differ from Simple. Thanks for any help the community can provide.

Per what we're pulling out of the source, is this correct for "Simple" mode?

Rate control = CRF x264, so essentially VBR? And what CRF value?
Buffer size = use is "true" in the code, but what value for buffer size?
Keyframe interval = not used / no keyframes?
Profile = high?
Tune = not used?
Variable framerate = not used?
Rescale output = not used?
Enforce custom service settings = not used?

Any assistance/clarifications you can provide are highly appreciated.

The question not clear. Because simple mode provides a lot of options that depends on your output resolution, destination service and options set in simple mode itself.
