Encoder Settings

6.2.1 General Settings Tab

On the General Settings tab in the Encoder Settings window you can change the general

encoding settings.

With the settings in the Psychovisual enhancements area, you can use human perception

patterns to achieve better overall quality.

This means, for example, that the quality is better in the middle of the picture than at the

outer edges because the eyes tend to focus on the middle and do not notice slight blurring at

the edge. Because quality is "saved" at the edge, you can either improve overall quality or

achieve greater compression. This means that you can achieve greater compression without

any appreciable loss of quality.

Note that only those settings and values are shown that are possible and applicable by the

selected codec!

The following option is available in the Encoder settings area:

Drop-down menu

Encoding precision

Specifies how good the quality of the output file should be in relation

to the time used for encoding. 1 provides the best quality, but the

longest encoding time. 0 takes up the least encoding time and

provides the worst available quality. It is recommended to use a

value in the middle range.
