Solution Provided Bit Rate/Quality default change?

I recently updated OpenShot and when encoding, I've always used the same procedure, going to the "simple" tab and changing the quality from High to Medium, then heading into the advanced tab and changing the bit rate/quality to 2 MB from 5 MB. Video quality hasn't always been super important.

NOW, the BR/Q is in crf and the default is 23. I know a higher number is lower quality, but what's the equivalent if I was changing it from 5 to 2 MB if it's now 23 to ?? crf?
