Video Qualities
The different video quality settings (HQ, SP, LP, and EP) available in
CyberLink PowerProducer result in a final picture of higher or lower
quality and a movie file of larger or smaller size. Better quality video
also demands more from your computer and limits the video
duration you can burn to disc. Below is a comparison of the length of
video you can expect to be able to burn to a DVD using the different
qualities:
• HQ (High Quality): 60 mins
• SP (Standard Play): 120 mins
• LP (Long Play): 180 mins
• EP (Extended Play): 240 mins
For the best possible image in your final production, select the
highest video quality that will allow your production to fit onto
the disc type you are using. Your ultimate choice of video
quality, however, should be based both on the image quality you
want in your final production and on the processing power of
your computer. The table below illustrates the availability of
video qualities when burning different disc types.
