"Video - Quality" Setting : What exactly does it do?

Sat Feb 03, 2018 4:24 am

Could someone from Bandicam please explain a little about what exactly the "Video - Quality" setting does. Is this something that simply adjusts the recorded video's bitrate or does it do something more or something else?

Thank You

Hello ikrananka,

Please read the article about VBR and Video - Quality (%) on the linked page.

https://www.bandicam.com/support/settings/video/

If you select CBR instead of VBR, the option to set the bitrate will appear.

Thank you.

I already read that article. What I am specifically asking is does the "Quality" setting simply set a VBR target average bitrate or does it do something else?

In my testing, the average VBR bitrate does indeed drop as the Quality setting is reduced. I'm just wanting to know if that setting also does something else to "quality".

Hello ikrananka,

If you have selected VBR, the Quality setting will not affect anything other than the encoding quality.
Of course the bitrate might be affected by the Quality setting but that is nothing more than a result of the quality change.

Thank you.
