Fine-tuning your customized encoding profiles
Selecting your Windows Media codec options
1 Click the Windows Media tab. By default, the Codec Options are
displayed.
2 From the Video Codec list, select the video codec that you want to use. If
you’re encoding a high-action video clip for high-bandwidth Internet
connections, you may want to select the latest version of the video codec.
3 From the Video Size list, select a size for your video frames. As video size
increases, greater bandwidth is required to stream the video. If you are
encoding for slow connection speeds, such as 28.8 or 56 Kbps, it’s best to
select a size no greater than 176×144.
¥Tip You can also modify video size by typing it in the session window
under the
Frame Size heading.When you modify the video size of an
encoding profile from the session window, the new size will apply to all the
video streams of the encoded file.
4 From the Audio Codec and Audio Format lists, select the audio codec and
audio format you want to use.
5 Select the Index output file option if you want your viewers to be able to
use the Windows Media Player fast forward and rewind features when they
play your video.
