Encoding Level

Encoding Level refers to how detailed and complex the process of converting information into a digital format is. In digital media, such as video or audio, it determines how efficiently and accurately the original content is represented in a file. Higher encoding levels typically mean better quality, supporting advanced features or higher resolutions, but may require more processing power. Conversely, lower levels may produce smaller files with less detail. Essentially, encoding level balances quality, file size, and compatibility, ensuring the content performs well on various devices and platforms.
