Chapter 10, Using the Matrox MAX H.264 Codec
2 In the Export Settings window, under Export Settings, select QuickTime
from the
Format list.
3 In the Video pane, under Video Codec, select Matrox MAX H.264 from
the
Video Codec list, and then click Codec Settings.
4 In the Matrox MAX H.264 Codec Settings window, set the following
options:
$ Select the entropy coding Algorithm to be used during compression:
• CABAC Uses the CABAC coding method, and defines the video
stream as H.264 Main profile.
• CAVLC Uses the CAVLC coding method, and defines the video
stream as H.264 Main profile when
Frame Reordering (under
Advanced Settings) is selected. Otherwise, the video stream is
defined as H.264 Baseline profile. This method is not supported when
encoding to a frame size that has a width greater than 720. In this case,
CABAC will always be used for encoding.
$ De-interlace video Select this option if your source video is interlaced
and you want to de-interlace your video before encoding. This option can
be used to display your encoded video on a monitor that displays lines
progressively, such as an LCD or computer monitor. For all other
instances, make sure this option is not selected.
$ Select the H.264 level that you want to be used to encode your video.
