Video as MPEG-4 video
MPEG-4 is the most advanced video format available at the moment.
In comparison to others, it can provide pictures with the highest
quality at the same file size.
Details on the settings of the MPEG-4 encoder can be found in the
program's Help file in the "MPEG-4 Encoder Settings" (view page
135) appendix.
Windows Media Export
This is a universal audio/video format from Microsoft. Accordingly, the
settings options in the "Advanced" dialog are very complex.
Manual configuration
Audio/Video codec: Various codecs corresponding to the various
Windows Media versions (7, 8, 9) are possible. Should compatibility
problems arise on playback, try an older codec with a lower version
number.
Bit rate mode: Constant and variable bit rates are possible, most
devices and streaming applications require constant bit rates. For
VBR two pass modes the movie is compressed in two passes in
order to optimally use the bandwidth for highly-compressed movies
for the Internet.
Bit rate/quality/audio format: The bit rate is decisive in defining the
display/audio quality. The higher this is, the better your videos will
look and the larger the files and the required encoding time will be.
For variable bit rates the bit rate is adapted dynamically to the
requirements of the corresponding picture or sound material. Either
the quality value can be set between 1-100 or, for two-pass
encoding, an average or maximum bit rate. For audio, the bit rate is
set additionally by the audio format.
Import from system profile (export type): For the most common
methods (other than playback on mobile devices, with which you
should use the supplied presets), like, for example, Internet
streaming, Microsoft provides diverse system profiles to choose from.
If you have the Windows Media Encoder 9 installed, which is available
from Microsoft as a free download, you can edit the profiles or create
your own. These can be loaded by pressing the "Import from profile
