Changes the Nero Digital profile. The setting relates to the target me-
dium for which encoding is being carried out.
Encoding Me-
thod
Selects the method to be used to encode the MPEG-4 file.
If you select Fast (1-pass), the movie only undergoes one conversion
pass. This method requires less time but has lower quality than en-
coding in two steps. The movie is analyzed and converted with the
available bit rate simultaneously.
If you select High quality (2-pass), the movie undergoes several
conversion passes. The quality is better, but the process takes longer.
The first pass analyzes the movie and creates a temporary file (*log).
The second pass converts the file. During this process, the bit rate da-
ta that was stored in the temporary files is used.
