A score of 0 results in the custom format being informational only. The Minimum score requires releases to reach this threshold otherwise they will be rejected. Custom formats that match with undesirable attributes should be given a negative score to lower their appeal. Outright rejections should be given a negative score low enough that even if all of the other formats with positive scores were added, the score would still fall below the minimum.

??? tip "Avoid using the x264/x265 Custom Format"
If possible avoid using the x264/x265 Custom Format with a score, it's smarter to use the [720/1080p no x265](/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#7201080p-no-x265) Custom Format.

Something like 95% of video files are x264 and have much better direct play support. If you have more than a couple users, you will notice much more transcoding.
Use x265 only for 4k releases and the [720/1080p no x265](/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#7201080p-no-x265) makes sure you still can get the x265 releases.
