-The best thing to do is to try them all and choose the one that provides the best results.
+The defaults should be good enough in most cases and will adapt to changing bandwidth conditions.

 Here are some rough guidelines:

 * to save a little bit of bandwidth at the expense of framerate and latency, use lossless encodings: {{{png}}} or {{{webp}}}
 * otherwise, choose {{{h264}}} and tune the speed/quality to suit your needs (see below)
+* {{{VP9}}} is a good alternative to {{{h264}}} (only usable with version 0.15 onwards - too slow with older versions)
 
 The other encodings are somewhat less useful:
-* [/wiki/Encodings/vpx vpx : VP8] is similar to {{{h264}}} but it does not support all speed and quality tuning, it also subsamples colours which leads to visual degradation. {{{VP9}}} is only usable with version 0.15 onwards.
+* [/wiki/Encodings/vpx vpx : VP8] is similar to {{{h264}}} but it does not support all speed and quality tuning, it also subsamples colours which leads to visual degradation.
 * {{{h265}}} via {{{x265}}} is far too slow to encode
 * {{{jpeg}}} gives lower size/quality than other lossy encodings, use this if the video encodings are not available and you need better compression than {{{png}}} or {{{webp}}} can give you
