This control does not affect the quality of the algorithm.  It should
probably be renamed "Quality", regardless of what the underlying setting is
named.

Have you checked whether this actually works properly?  I thought there was
a reason why things were the way they were.

Rather than having comments like "Ignored if...", it would be better to have
only applicable options displayed depending on the value of the CBR/ABR/VBR
option.  See the codec selector, some of the audio settings, etc. for
examples of how to do this.
