x264
Note: The x264 implementation of the H.264 standard results in better quality and
lower CPU usage for any given bitrate, but at the cost of higher memory usage. The
default implementation is based on the Mainconcept codec and uses less memory.
To modify a Flash x264 preset, follow these steps:
1. Open the Encoder Presets window.
2. Select an encoder preset from the Encoder Presets menu.
Note: To use a newly created preset (See Creating New Presets).
3. Check the Video Encoding checkbox. When checked, the video for your broadcast
is encoded. When unchecked, a blank video screen is provided. This is the preferred
method of producing audio-only broadcasts.
4. Select x264 for Encoder.
5. Enter the width of your broadcast video.
6. Enter the height of your broadcast video.
