There was a complain that a new version of ffmpeg does not select the best stream from the playlist and by adding these parameters we kind of trick it to select the HD stream. Personally, I did not have any issues with or without this parameters using the old version of ffmpeg and have no issues now using latest ffmpeg with these params.

I've been recording some models in flv and ts simultaneously for a while, so far, I had only two cases when ts version had the lower resolution than flv one. So I'll say ffmpeg does a pretty good job in selecting HD stream, however, I cannot confirm that this is because of
these parameters, I only can say: It works, so why bother?

Seems to me it's trying to make the fps 60 and reduce the bitrate? bizarre. Doesn't seem to happen on the recordings anyway.
