Quality Settings (File Size)
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.
But before you continue to read, as with all my guides:
!!! error "" 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.
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)
??? question "FAQ"
## 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).
- 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.
