Somebody in general chat asked the following

Is there a way of making FreeTube prefer using VP9/AV1 over avc, or disabling avc? I'd like to do that since YouTube avc videos have lesser quality (bitrate?) compared to their VP9/AV1 variants.

@absidue responded with a long knowledge dump. This is information that can help users but also contributors, which is why we decided to introduce a new section called Knowledge base.

Didnt make edits except for fixing the typo. Feel free to suggest changes

FreeTube doesn't provide any user facing options to do that no (forcing specific codecs is a bad idea because of bullet point 2).

I wonder what's the original question (might be able to guess what to be put here
