This is a follow-up to my prior topic on [choosing video bitrates](https://discuss.openedx.org/t/choosing-video-bitrates/710). This time I’m looking for suggestions about bitrates (and related video encode settings) for video _download_.

Ideally, I’d like an AWS Elastic Transcode preset that’s reasonable for downloadable videos. Any suggestions?
