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 350)".
MPEG-4
The MPEG-4 (H.263) codec is especially useful for video material with little or
only slower movements.
Generic
MPEG-4 preset
Different presets located within the encoder.
(A)SP@L0-L5: (Advanced) Simple Profile in Level 0-5
(Q)CIF (Common Intermediate Format): CIF is a video format produced as
soon as 1990 with the video compression format H.261. At that time, the
format was used for video telephone conferences.
The "Q" in QCIF stands for "Quarter", and since resolution is halved in terms of
height and width compared to CIF, the entire size is only a quarter of CIF.
QCIF was popular with mobile telephone manufacturers, since the resolution of
176 x 144 pixels was sensible for the first affordable SmartPhones (144 x 176).
(Half)D1: D1 corresponds with MPEG-2 DVD. HalfD1 has exactly half of the
entire number of pixels, meaning that the pixel number of the height and
weight is 2/3 of D1.
720p: Video stream with a resolution of 1280 x 720p (progressive).
Apple iPod: Apple iPod-compatible stream.
Sony PSP: Sony PSP-compatibler stream.
Profile/Level
So that profile and level are conformant with the other settings, pay attention to
the minimum and maximum values in the following tables.
