Configure by Bitrate #53

Open hellblazer315 opened 3 years ago

It would be great to be able to configure it to "Keep Best Bitrate". Sometimes it is possible to have for example a 720p at a higher bitrate (i.e. better rip) than a 1080p. In these cases bitrate is often more important than resolution. Similarly, if they are the same resolution that you would simply want to keep the higher bitrate file. While the "File Size" option is available, this also may not be the best when you account for h.265 vs h.264 where 265 provides a much better compression rate and therefore may have a better quality at a smaller file size.

I would imagine this would be less "Scoring" and more of just a direct comparison - greater bitrate wins.

Title was phrased a little weird so I didn't catch this at first... looks like someone has a similar request for music. Mine is targeted specifically at video but I could see it having a global use case.
