AVC / H.264
The H.264/AVC codec is suitable for all types of material; however, it
requires relatively higher CPU power for later decoding.
In the advanced encoder settings of the AVC encoder the "Generic"
options in "Main Settings" are mainly interesting.
The AVC preset and video format can be adjusted here. For instance,
if DVD quality is desired you should select "DVD". The video format
should be selected specific to the country so that the material can be
played on the devices most commonly available in these countries.
For instance, you should select PAL for Germany, SECAM for France
and NTSC for the US.
