Why 27? I think ffmpeg default is 23 actually.

Just from some tests. Please check this part of design doc for details. 23 will give way bigger segment size.

CRF = 0 is still a valid value (meaning lossless). Are we explicitly saying crf = 0 should never be allowed or should this check for values between 0 and 51?

This is a good point. The problem with 0 is that everywhere in go and protobuf, it's the default => so, the assumption is that 0 is a not set value.

Anyway, since as you know, there is no direct correspondence of the the quality value and the crf / cq, let's maybe not think about this corner case too much.

Don't we also want this for the rendition that's the same resolution as the source?

My understanding is that no, because for the same resolution as the source we create a profile in line 157. So, this logic here is (and always was) for the profile resolution lower than source.

Ohh wait, maybe you're right that we should also increase the bitrate in line 157. Will update it there.

Updated in 13a6bf2

relativeBitrate := float64(profile.Width*profile.Height) * (float64(videoBitrate) / float64(video.Width*video.Height))
// relativeBitrate needs to be slightly higher than the proportional average bitrate of the source video.
// Livepeer network uses bitrate to set max bitrate for encoding, so for the video to look good, we multiply
// it by a factor of 1.2.
relativeBitrate := 1.2 * float64(profile.Width*profile.Height) * (float64(videoBitrate) / float64(video.Width*video.Height))

how did we determine the 1.2 multiplier?

I didn't really. I just know that what we currently have is too low, because we're setting: max bitrate = source avg bitrate which gives poor results.

As described in the doc, I plan to not set it at all, when the Os start to support the quality param (Phase 2).

br := math.Min(relativeBitrate, float64(profile.Bitrate))
profile.Bitrate = int64(br)
