Tips

Tips.1 Click the option button, a window will be popped up. Here you can set resolution, frame rate, width/length ration, video bitrate, codec, conversion speed, sample rate, audio channels and audio bitrate. Here are some tips about the options.

1. Resolution: Choose different resolution for different devices.

2. Frame rate: 25fps is PAL, 30fps is NTSC.

3. Length/Width ration: 4:3 is common display; 16:9 is width screen display.

4. For ‘Codec’ setting. There are two choice for you — ‘H.264’ & ‘xVID’.

‘H.264’ provides higher quality with less file size. But the conversion time is longer than ‘xVID’. If you care about the video definition. ‘H.264’ would be your choice. I prefer ‘xVID’ to ‘H.264’. Because it’s difficult to distinguish the difference between ‘H.264’ and ‘xVID’ on iPod’s little screen.

5. Video bitrate and audio bitrate: higher bitrate provides better quality with lager size and longer conversion time.
