The quality of screencasts now is a bit low. It would be great to have an option to increase the bitrate.

Some of the encoder settings in KPipeWire wouldn't work the way you want them to with bitrate, but exposing more ways to tweak the quality would probably be good.

Maybe a quick fix would be to bump the default quality delivered by kpipewire? The screencasts I've recorded are not even usable, the bitrate is so low. Attached screenshot to show the issue.
