Greatest possible safety as a data backup of the project is added (burn
option (view page 219)).
Backup disc
Use this option to compile all movies in the current disc project, including all
connected media and burn them to disc.
Even larger projects can be burned straight to disc. The project, if
necessary, will be split up and burned automatically to multiple discs. A
restore program which is burned to the first disc of such a backup,
guarantees easy re-recording of the backup.
MPEG-4 encoder settings
Behind MPEG-4, you'll find a highly complex "academic" standard that
operates and is supported variably according to make.
Tip: First, check if there is a suitable preset in the export dialog for your
purposes. Before changes are made in "Advanced settings", the effects and
interplay of the different parameters should be familiar.
The "Advanced settings" are divided into "Video", "Audio", and "Multiplexer".
Under "Video", there is a choice between "MPEG-4 (view page 347)"
(H.263)
and "AVC/H.264 (view page 351)". Depending on the purpose of
applicatio
n of the material to be exported, both of these encoder settings
can be selected for compressing the video material. It is important in this
case to know how the material will be played back.
Under "Audio", there is a choice between "AMR (view page 357)" and "AC
(view page
357)". The AMR format is more suitable for mobile devices that
don't
necessarily require high playback quality. ACC is more flexible, on the
other hand, but it is supported by fewer mobiel devices.
For material that is not exactly specific, encoder qualities recommend AVC
image and AAC sound, since these encoders are equally suitable for all
source material.
The option "Export as website" also creates an HTML page in an integrated
Flash player that can play back the video created. Read the topic "Embed
Flash videos into your own web site (view page 326)".
