Specific Details on "Video Quality" Compression (SL3)
In order to ascertain some optimal encoding standards, I'm looking for some real numbers on what specifically the video quality slider does in terms of bitrate reduction, profiling, and audio.

Greetings, Joseph!
It looks like you've done some excellent troubleshooting, and I appreciate you bringing your findings to our attention.
I found the support case where you're already working with one of our Support Engineers, Lea. She'll be in touch after carefully analyzing this information, and I'll follow the conversation!
Thanks for the follow-up Katie! I'm looking forward to the results of any research on this topic.
Just by a little reverse engineering I can see that SL video quality compression:
A) Significantly reduces the bitrate, even at high values (a "7" reduced it by almost 600%).
B) Sums the video's audio to mono, which is really good information to know ahead of time if there are any risks of phase cancellation involved with the sum (e.g., wide stereo field).
