track and unsetting all in/out points, the entire track is rendered.

The first 3 below, plus any of the VP9 files under the file type of \textit{webm} are the recommended options to use because they are freely usable in any circumstance.

Alternatives based on h264 and for non-commercial use are listed below. For Dailymotion, these must be renamed to have a different extension of .mp4 instead of .youtube before uploading.

Constant Quantizer (Q) & Allows you to specify a fixed quantizer value; bitrate will vary \\

Constant Bitrate (CBR) & Attempts to keep the bitrate fairly constant while quality varies\\

CQ mode is recommended for file-based video (as opposed to streaming). The following FFMpeg command-line parameters are used for CQ mode:

of the insertion point. If any video exists, a red bar appears in
the time ruler showing what has been background rendered
