X6

MPEG-4 encoder settings (Intel) 353
Profile: Profiles define the encoder properties that are supported.
Note: You should only change this setting when there are problems playing back the
generated video.
• Auto: The encoder automatically selects the appropriate setting.
• Main: This profile was originally intended for the broadcast industry and for
backup purposes. It became less popular when "High Profile" was developed for
exactly these applications.
• High: This profile is used for broadcast and backup applications and is also
sometimes used in the HDTV industry (High Definition Television). This profile is
used for HD-DVD and Blu-ray Discs, for example.
Level: H.264 defines different levels. The level determines which bit rate and
resolution are possible for the video.
With the "Auto level" option, the encoder determines the level automatically on the
basis of the resolution of "AVC preset" video formats, the set bit rate and the profile.
Audio (AAC)
Sample rate: Here you can set the sample rate for audio encoding. For DVDs the
standard is set to 48 kHz. If you change the settings here, it may result in not being
able to play back the sound or the entire video.
Channels: Determines the number of audio channels.
• Mono: 1 channel, mono sound
• Stereo: 2 channels, one for left and one for right.
• Surround: 6 channels (5.1)
Average bit rate (kbps): The desired bit rate is entered here.
Variable bit rate (VBR): If this option is activated, high bit rates will only be used
when required. The achieved values in "Average bit rate (kbps)" may vary so the
predicted file size is only an estimate.
Multiplexer
Streamable: The generated video is suitable for live playback on websites.
HTML Start file: MAGIX Video Pro X6 generates an HTML file with a video player
that opens the HTML file and plays it back.
