# Quality Settings (File Size) # Quality Settings (File Size)
I often get the question "What's the best quality settings to use?" --8<-- "includes/starr/quality-size-description-faq.md"
Well, it's actually personal preference so I will show you my recommendations.
But before you continue to read, as with all my guides:
!!! danger ""
**If you don't care about quality then stop reading and see if the other tutorials are helpful for you.**
These Quality Settings have been created and tested with info I got from others, and release comparisons from different sources.
??? question "FAQ - [Click to show/hide]"
## FAQ
**Q: Why do you only show starting from HDTV720p?**
A: With the big screens these days anything lower doesn't look watchable
**Q: Why do you have some sizes set to max?**
A: You probably didn't read the bold text above
**Q: When I set Bluray to MAX size I often get ISO's/ Bluray folder structure.**
A: You probably have configured your Quality Profiles wrong and enabled BR-DISK and didn't add the recommended Custom Profile to help Radarr to block/ignore it. [BR-DISK](/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#br-disk){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}
**Q: Some movies won't be grabbed because of these settings.**
A: If you notice that some movies won't be grabbed because of these size settings, you can provide me proof with a screenshot and the error it shows you when you do an interactive search (non redacted except the indexer/tracker if you want to).
- I will only accept changes that are international releases. No multi, or dubbed language releases.
- I won't accept mislabeled source releases like from MeGusta etc. (They should learn to name their stuff properly first)
- I won't accept changes for micro sized releases.
- Documentaries and cartoons are often much smaller so I probably won't edit those either.

The reason why you don't see the `Preferred` score in the table above is because we want max quality anyway. So set it as high as possible. <!-- markdownlint-enable MD052-->
The highest preferred quality you can manually enter is 1 less than the Maximum quality. If you use the slider, the preferred quality can be up to 5 lesser than the Maximum quality. --8<-- "includes/support.md"

I only do WEB-DL myself for TV shows because in my opinion WEB-DL is the sweet spot between quality and size and you often don't see big differences anyway for TV shows. (Except for shows like GOT, Vikings, etc)

## FAQ
**Q: Why do you only show starting from HDTV720p?**
A: With the big screens these days anything lower doesn't look watchable
**Q: Why do you have some sizes set so high?**
A: You probably didn't read the bold text above, I also need to keep in mind usenet releases that are often bigger than torrent releases.
**Q: You noticed that some episodes don't grab because of these settings.**
A: If you notice that some episodes won't be grabbed because of these size settings you can provide me a proof with a screenshot and the error it shows you when you do a interactive search (non redacted except the indexer/tracker if you want to).

On the Radarr/Sonarr Discord people often ask,
- “What's the best quality size settings to use?”
- “Why's are the ones from the TRaSH Guides so different to the default settings?”
Even though it is a personal preference, we will show you some recommendations to prevent low quality or fake releases.
## FAQ
??? question "Why do i only see sizes starting from HDTV720p and up?"
- Watching content below 720p on a big screen can result in a blurry and pixelated image, making it difficult to see details and enjoy the true quality of the content. Additionally, lower resolution videos may not fill the entire screen, leading to a less immersive viewing experience. Investing in higher quality content ensures that you are getting the best possible picture and sound quality for your viewing pleasure.
??? question "Why are some sizes set to max?"
- These guides are created to achieve the highest possible quality based on the quality profiles provided.
??? question "Why is there difference between regular movies/tv shows and anime/animated/cartoons ?"
- Regular movies and TV shows are set up more strictly to prevent low quality and fake releases, whereas anime, animated series, and cartoons are set up wide open.
??? question "When I set Bluray to MAX size I often get ISO's/ Bluray folder structure."
- You have probably configured your Quality Profiles incorrectly by enabling BR-DISK without adding the recommended Custom Format for Radarr to block/ignore [BR-DISK](/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#br-disk){:target="\_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}. For Sonarr, you can use the following to block/ignore [BR-DISK](/Sonarr/sonarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#br-disk){:target="\_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}.
??? question "Some movies or episodes may not be grabbed due to these settings."
If you notice that some movies or episodes are not being grabbed due to size settings, you can provide proof with a screenshot showing the error that appears during an interactive search (excluding the indexer or tracker if you prefer).
- We will only consider changes for international releases; no multi-language or dubbed releases will be accepted.
- We will not accept incorrectly labeled source releases such as those from MeGusta, they need to properly name their content first.
- Changes for micro-sized releases will not be accepted.
- Documentaries and cartoons are typically much smaller, so we may not make edits to those either.
These quality file size settings have been created and tested with information gathered from release comparisons from various sources and information provided by the community.

!!! warning "Make sure you have enabled 'Show Advanced' if you don't see a provision to enter the scores, under the Quality settings.<br><br>After setting the Max Size, set the 'Preferred' score as high as possible. You can accomplish that with one of the two following ways.<br>- 1. You move the slider to the far most right.<br>- 2. You enter a score of `400`.<br>In both cases, it will automatically change to the highest possible. This will be slightly below the Max Size setting."
