GOP of half the frame rate. CABAC Variable bit-rate. No bit-rate limit required, although we offer recommended bit-rates below for reference Chroma subsampling: 4:2:0 Frame rate (wiki) Content should be encoded and uploaded using the same frame rate that was used during recording. Common frame rates include: 24, 25, 30, 48, 50 and 60 frames per second (other frame rates are also acceptable). Interlaced content should be deinterlaced before uploading. For example, 1080i60 content should be deinterlaced to 1080p30, going from 60 interlaced fields per second to 30 progressive frames per second. Bit-rate (wiki) The bit-rates below are recommendations for uploads. Audio playback bit-rate is not related to video resolution. Recommended video bit-rates for SDR uploads To view uploads in 4K, use a browser or device that supports VP9.

If you're uploading a non-16:9 file, it will be processed and displayed with either black bars on the left and right (pillar boxes) or black bars at the top and bottom (letter boxes) to make a 16:9 ratio in the player.
