<p><strong>Q: Why do you only show starting from HDTV720p?</strong></p>
<p>A: With the big screens these days anything lower doesn't look watchable</p>
<p><strong>Q: Why do you have some sizes set to max?</strong></p>
<p>A: You probably didn't read the bold text above</p>
<p><strong>Q: When I set Bluray to MAX size I often get ISO's/ Bluray folder structure.</strong></p>
<p>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. <ahref="/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#br-disk"rel="noopener noreferrer"target="_blank">BR-DISK</a></p>
<p><strong>Q: Some movies won't be grabbed because of these settings.</strong></p>
<p>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).</p>

<summary>Why do i only see sizes starting from HDTV720p and up?</summary>
<ul>
<li>I will only accept changes that are international releases. No multi, or dubbed language releases.</li>
<li>I won't accept mislabeled source releases like from MeGusta etc. (They should learn to name their stuff properly first)</li>
<li>I won't accept changes for micro sized releases.</li>
<li>Documentaries and cartoons are often much smaller so I probably won't edit those either.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>Note that <code>400</code> is the displayed value for Unlimited</li>

<summary>Why is there difference between regular movies/tv shows and anime/animated/cartoons ?</summary>

<li>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.</li>

<p>I often get the question "What's the best quality settings to use?"
Well, it's actually personal preference so I will show you my recommendations.</p>
<p>But before you continue to read, as with all my guides:</p>
<divclass="admonition danger">
<p><strong>If you don't care about quality then stop reading and see if the other tutorials are helpful for you.</strong></p>

<p>These Quality Settings have been created and tested with info I got from others, and release comparisons from different sources.</p>
<p>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)</p>
