Quality Controls

By default, the CLI preserves source quality (match-source) for both video and audio.

Video quality presets

--video-quality supports:

• match-source
• 360p
• 480p
• 720p
• 1080p
• 1440p
• 2160p

These presets apply resolution caps and target bitrate ranges suitable for common direct-play scenarios.

Audio quality presets

--audio-quality supports:

• match-source
• 320k
• 256k
• 224k
• 192k
• 160k
• 128k
• 96k

Custom bitrate overrides

Use these for explicit control:

• --max-video-bitrate <RATE> (for example 4800k, 6M, 12.5mbps)
• --max-audio-bitrate <RATE>

When overrides are provided, they constrain the selected quality profile.
