MPEG-4 encoder 341
Blu-ray Discs come in three varieties:
• Only readable BD ROM (comparable to DVD video),
• rewritable BD-RE (comparable to DVD±RW or DVD-RAM),
• and as a disc that can be written to only once BD-R (comparable to DVD±R).
MPEG-4 encoder
MPEG-4 is actually a collection of highly efficient codecs for video and audio based on
the MPEG standard. Compared to MPEG-2, the same quality can be achieved with
smaller file size.
Recommendation: Check the presets that the program offers to find the right preset
for each application and the right playback device. These presets are optimized for
typical applications.
The advanced settings in "Advanced" are divided into "Video", "Audio", and
"Multiplexer".
Under „Video“ there is a choice between „MPEG-4 Simple“ (MPEG-4 Visual/MPEG-
4 Part 2) (view page 346)and „MPEG-4 H.264“ (AVC/MPEG-4 Part 10) (view page
342).
Dep
ending on the purpose of application of the material to be exported, either one of
these encoder settings can be selected for compressing the video material. Refer to
the manual for the playback device to find out which encoder is supported.
Under „Audio“, „AAC“ (view page 349) is preset. If you have chosen an AVCHD
transport stream from the presets, "AC3 (Dol
by Digital)" will be available.
Under „Multiplexer“ you can adjust certain presets, e.g. container format and
streaming properties. This is only recommended for experts.
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 324)".
Tip: First, check if there is a suitable preset in the export dialog for your purposes.
Advanced users can make specific adjustments to these three areas using the
advanced settings.
