[Format] [Encoding] [Bit rate] [Frame rate] [Frame size]
Format - file video format used to encode the movie.
| MPEG-4 |
ISO/IEC open standard for video encoding developed by MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group). It is characterized by a small output video file size and quite good picture quality even when a relatively low bit rate is used. The most known resulting output when you use MPEG-4 format for compression is the AVI file type which is commonly used in home video. It is coded with XviD, DivX, 3ivx, Nero Digital and other video codecs. Other file types can be found in the output file format section. |
| MPEG-4 DivX |
ISO/IEC open standard for video encoding developed by MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group). It is characterized by a small output video file size and quite good picture quality even when a relatively low bit rate is used. The most known resulting output when you use MPEG-4 format for compression is the AVI file type which is commonly used in home video. It is coded with DivX video codec. |
| MPEG-4 XviD |
ISO/IEC open standard for video encoding developed by MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group). It is characterized by a small output video file size and quite good picture quality even when a relatively low bit rate is used. The most known resulting output when you use MPEG-4 format for compression is the AVI file type which is commonly used in home video. It is coded with XviD video codec. |
| H.264 |
H.264, or AVC, for Advanced Video Coding, is a digital video codec standard which is noted for achieving very high data compression. It was written by the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group together with the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group as the product of a collective partnership effort known as the Joint Video Team. The intent of the H.264/AVC project was to create a standard that would be capable of providing good video quality at bit rate that are substantially lower (e.g., half or less) than what previous standards would need (e.g., relative to MPEG-2, H.263, or DivX and XviD). |
| WMV |
Windows Media Video, Microsoft's standard for audio and video which is closely tied with the Windows Operating System. Usually is used for the playback of the Windows Media Player or Microsoft Zune hardware player, Pocket PC and Smartphones that work under Windows Mobile OS. |
Format setting can be chosen from the preset list only and cannot be altered.

Encoding - number of passes used to perform the movie encoding.
| Single pass |
Use this setting to perform encoding of the movie file with not too good picture quality (with the presence of so called "noises" that make the picture not too clear). In this mode, the movie is processed once. |
| Two pass |
Use this setting to perform encoding of the movie file with good picture quality to produce the best quality encodes. In this mode, the movie is processed twice and conversion takes more time than when Single pass mode is chosen. |
Number of passes setting can be chosen from the preset list only and cannot be altered.

Bit rate - the number of bits transferred per second. The higher the bit rate the better the quality of the resulting video but the output file size also gets larger at higher bit rate values. The value will change automatically to fit the the destination storage capacity taking into consideration all the other changes you make. It is also possible to enter the bit rate manually if you need to do so.
Bit rate setting can be altered manually to suit your personal needs - you can enter the values using the keyboard or with the mouse clicks.

Frame rate - the number of video frames displayed every second. Depends on the device used to playback the output video file and the video file format. When transferred over the network also depends on the connection speed.
| 10 fps |
Use this setting if you want to compress the video file for watching it on your mobile phone (GSM or CDMA) or want to send it via GSM or CDMA network or in video conferences over the Internet. |

| 29.97 fps |
Use this setting if you want to compress the NTSC-format video file for watching it on your personal computer, DVD player with DivX/XviD support, portable DVD player with DivX/XviD support, Sony PSP handheld device, Apple TV, Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, Microsoft Zune, Pocket PC and Smartphones that work under Windows Mobile OS, Apple iPod, Creative Zen Vision player, Archos DVR or portable media player. |
| 30 fps |
Use this setting if you want to compress the NTSC-format video file for watching it on your personal computer, DVD player with DivX/XviD support, portable DVD player with DivX/XviD support, Creative Zen Vision player, Archos DVR, Epson P-2000/P-4000 Multimedia Storage Viewers or portable media player. |
| Original |
Use this setting if you want to keep the frame rate of the original movie picture unchanged in the output video file or if you are unsure which preset to use. |
Frame rate setting can be chosen from the preset list only and cannot be altered.

Frame size (resolution) - the number of pixels that form the video image (horizontally/vertically). The larger the frame size the more processing power is used to encode and decode the video file. Too small frame size causes the quality of the picture to be inapplicable for watching on a large screen. If the video is converted for a portable device that has a small screen with low resolution it is necessary to reduce the frame size to fit the screen resolution, otherwise the device might not be able to playback the output video. One should bear in mind that the conversion with smaller frame sizes takes less time than that with greater resolution values.
| Preset |
Use this setting if you want to change the size of the movie picture in the output video file. It is changed proportionally as related to the original movie frame size. |
| Original |
Use this setting if you want to leave the size of the original movie picture unchanged in the output video file. |
Frame size setting can be chosen from the preset list only and cannot be altered.
