Output options list: The list items identifies the status of the critical parameters in determining how the
audio and video will be encoded and placed onto the DVD. To the left of each item is a status symbol:
A green check mark indicates that no recoding is required.
A yellow circle indicates minor recoding. Minor recoding is usually very quick with the only exception being
that program with very long GOPs can take additional time to recode the longer GOPs to DVD compliant
GOP lengths. Audio recoding or aspect ratio changes take place extremely quickly.
The yellow triangle is used to show that a major recoding is taking place. Usually its related to some aspect
of the video such as converting HD video to SD video required by DVDs. Cropping and resizing or changing
the overall bit rate also require major recoding. These options are set by clicking on the "Change output
options" button.
Accept non-compliant DVD settings: The DVD specification is limited to MPEG2 video of
specific dimensions. For NTSC it is usually 720x480, 704x480, 320 x 480, or 320x240. For PAL it is
720x576, 704x576, 352x576, or 352x288. However most modern DVD players can accept and play DVDs with
non-standard dimension such as Tivo created 480x480 video or a variety of dimensions broadcast via satellite
