# Target Quality

```
    --target-quality <TARGET_QUALITY>
        Target a VMAF score for encoding (disabled by default)

        For each chunk, target quality uses an algorithm to find the quantizer/crf needed to
        achieve a certain VMAF score. Target quality mode is much slower than normal encoding,
        but can improve the consistency of quality in some cases.

        The VMAF score range is 0-100 (where 0 is the worst quality, and 100 is the best).
        Floating-point values are allowed.

    --probes <PROBES>
        Maximum number of probes allowed for target quality

        [default: 4]

    --probing-rate <PROBING_RATE>
        Framerate for probes, 1 - original

        [default: 1]

    --probe-slow
        Use encoding settings for probes specified by --video-params rather than faster, less
        accurate settings

        Note that this always performs encoding in one-pass mode, regardless of --passes.

    --min-q <MIN_Q>
        Lower bound for target quality Q-search early exit

        If min_q is tested and the probe's VMAF score is lower than target_quality, the Q-search
        early exits and min_q is used for the chunk.

        If not specified, the default value is used (chosen per encoder).

    --max-q <MAX_Q>
        Upper bound for target quality Q-search early exit

        If max_q is tested and the probe's VMAF score is higher than target_quality, the Q-
        search early exits and max_q is used for the chunk.

        If not specified, the default value is used (chosen per encoder).
