Standard Definition
Standard Definition (Often abbreviated to SD) encodes are encoded at the games native resolution, but tend to have the lower quality due to the Chroma subsampling that the H264 applies, however, the noticability of the reduction varies greatly from game to game. These are mandatory for publication on every single movie, a movie will not be published without one. These are also the quickest encodes to made.

High Quality
High Quality (Often abbreviated to HQ) encoding are scaled up by 2x the games native resolution, and tends to have the highest quality of encodes due to the avoidance of Chroma subsamplings effects, particularly on on Blues and Reds, material will often look closest to the source compared to the SD encode if the game makes heavy use of dark Reds and Blues. Brighter material will often be harder to tell the difference by. Not many publications will have these encodes due to the extremely long time it takes to make them.
TODO: Possibly consider making a guide for HQ encoding? Or make mention of it in the HD guide.

High Definition
High Definition (Often abbreviated to HD) encoding is used almost exclusively for YouTube, this is to force YouTube to comply with avoiding Chroma subsampling when viewed in Original resolution mode, which can only appear when the source resolution is larger than either 1920 pixels horizontally or 1080 pixels vertically. An unfinished guide for High Definition encoding can be found here.

High Definition encodes aren't normally supplied inside a publication due to the incredible amount of filesize they consume and near unplayability on many computers.

Other
Encodes that don't fall into any particular category (Such as the HQ6x encode for [1617] Genesis Sonic 3 & Knuckles (any) "newgame+" by marzojr in 31:16.15) are put into here.
