So if you do not hit Level Limits with H.265 there is no impact to Quality. Or you can constrain your streams to a specific Level to target a specific Decoder Class which is recommended for playback compatibility.
So i can leave the level on automatic and dont have to worry about quality? I believe everything i encode will be within level 4 anyway, so selecting level 4 high wont make any difference?
