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 136)"
(H.263) and "AVC/H.264 (view page 142)". Depending on the
purpose of application 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 147)" and
"AC (view page 148)". 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".
MPEG-4
The MPEG-4 (H.263) codec is especially useful for video material with
little or only slower movements.
