Specifications

General Parameters
Play Video When Opened: Check this option to automatically start playing the video when you open an MPEG file.
Preferred audio: If a video file contains multiple audio streams of different codecs, this parameter is used
to determine which stream will be defaulted to. If 'Auto' is selected, the first audio stream found is used and
also results in the fastest file open. Selecting one of the other options may result in scanning a number
of megabytes into the file to determine if the preferred audio type is present. You can set how far to scan on
the
Tools>Options>Stream page. If the preferred audio encoding isn't found, VideoReDo will chose the first
one found.
Editing accuracy: By default, VideoReDo is enabled for frame accurate editing. This means the cut points you specify will
be accurate to within a single frame. VideoReDo will decode and re-code the frames around the cut points to insure that
only your desired frames are included in the output file. When set to "GOP Accurate" the cut points are rounded to the next
I-Frame or start of GOP (Group of Pictures). There are typically 15 frames in a GOP since that is the DVD standard,
although the MPEG2 permits a GOP to have an arbitrary number of frames in it. With 15 frames in a GOP, GOP accurate
edit points are accurate to approximately 1/2 second.
Editing mode: VideoReDo can operate in two different modes, cut mode and scene mode. In Cut mode, you indicate
sections of the video program that will be removed by the editor. All "un-cut" sections will be included in the output file.
In Scene mode you indicate sections ( scenes ) of the video that will be included by VideoReDo in the output file. Please
see
Getting Started for a more through discussion of editing modes.
Default Project Folder: Changes the preferred default save location of project (VPrj) files as oppposed to video files.
Options include source video folder, destination video folder, or the last saved project location.
Auto recovery interval: VideoReDo will maintain a backup of the current state of your editing project on disk incase
your system or VideoReDo itself crashes. When you start VideoReDo it will scan for the auto recovery file, and if found
ask you if you want to restore. This parameter determines how frequently VideoReDo will write to the auto recovery file.
The auto recovery file is also written when you perform a file save or a Joiner create. It is deleted when you exit VideoReDo.
Default file save format: Chose the default output format you wish to save to. This value can be overridden using the
"File Type" option on the File > Save dialog. Options are:
● Program Stream (MPG) - A standard MPEG1 or MPEG2 program stream.
● Elementary Stream (MPV) - A demultiplexed version of the output program. Separate audio and video files will be written.
● DVD folder (DVD) -Saving to a DVD folder will prompt for DVD project parameters and create a VIDEO_TS folder.
● Transport Stream (ts) - Industry compliant Transport Streams.
● DVR-MS (dvr-ms) - Microsoft Media Center files. Also known as MCE files.
● Topfield REC (rec) - Topfield REC format. A transport stream file with a Topfield header
● Tivo (tivo)- MPEG program stream formatted with a Tivo metadata header. If the source file is not a Tivo file, the output
file will be formatted as an industry standard program stream.
Queue to batch format : Chose the output format that projects queued to the batch processor will be saved as. The choices
are same as those used by the Default File Save Format.
