 ===Expected final results for self-encoded runs===
-If you take a look at Nate's encoding work for SDA, you see that there are usually four different quality versions for each run. While it is a fair amount of work, don't be intimidated; you'll probably only have to create two different AviSynth scripts: one to take care of LQ/MQ, and one for HQ/IQ. It's rare that you will need different scripts for LQ and MQ.
+LQ/MQ/HQ are required for submission. IQ/XQ are optional but recommended for videos with high resolution/framerate.
-Editing your run will be the hardest part, but once you've got your scripts ready to go, you will see that compressing your run in MeGUI is quite easy.
