Drop-down menu
Codec
Defines the video codec used for the output.
Drop-down menu
Encoding
Selects the method to be used for encoding.
Fast (1-pass): The video undergoes only one conversion pass. This
method requiers less time but results in lower quality than encoding
in two steps. The video is analyzed and converted simultaneously
with the available bit rate.
High quality (2-pass): The video undergoes several conversion
passes. The resulting quality is better, but the process takes longer.
The first pass analyzes the video and creates a temporary file (*log).
The second pass converts the video. During this process, the bit rate
data that was stored in the temporary files is used.
Only available if 1- or 2-pass encoding is possible for the selected
codec.
The following options are available in the Advanced settings area:
Drop-down menu
Aspect ratio
Defines the aspect of the output. The aspect ratio is set for the video
itself and not for the pixels.
The pictograms in the drop-down menu give a good impression of
the different resizing modes:
Original aspect ratio: Keeps the original aspect ratio. The aspect
ratio is kept and the resolution is resized.
Letter box: Resizes the video to fit exactly the desired resolution.
The aspect ratio is kept and black bars are added if necessary.
Stretch: Resizes the video to fit exactly the desired resolution. The
aspect ratio is stretched if necessary.
Option button / Drop-
down menu
Resolution
Defines the resolution of the output. The values available are
determined by the aspect ratio and codec.
You can also define a custom value for the resolution of the output.
Enter width and height in the input fields below. However, the
selected aspect ratio is kept. A corrected resolution is displayed in
the individual output settings for the source file.
Drop-down menu
Frame rate
Defines the frames per second of the output. You can also keep the
frame rate of the original file.
Drop-down menu
Resizing method
Selects the desired resizing method, e.g.
bilinear , bicubic , Lanczos
and
superresolution.
Only the resizing methods allowed for the chosen codec are
displayed.
