Audio bitrate refers to how many data storage is allocated to store audio signals. The higher audio bitrate, the better audio quality.
-
You can change output audio volume in "Output Settings" dialog. The default volume level is 5 (original volume).
-
When the output audio is set to Mono, you can choose which stereo channel (of input source) to be copied into the Mono channel (output). It is useful for some video sources (e.g. VCD) which use the left, right channels for different languages or for karaoke.
-
Crop Mode:
-
The native iPod screen has an aspect ratio of 4:3 (width:height). However, different video sources may use different aspect ratios (e.g 4:3, 16:9, 2.35:1). Both 16:9 and 2.35:1 are widescreen, however 2.35:1 is even wider. Some DVD movie with 2.35:1 aspect ratio contains black bars on top and bottom in order to fit into 16:9 DVD standard. For 2.35:1 extra wide movies, you may choose the following crop modes based on your personal preference.
-
The native resolution of iPod's screen is 320x240. PQ-DVD for iPod Video will choose the best fit resolution (320x...) based on the aspect ratio of your video source. You can select different cropping mode to change the resolution. You can also stretch/squash the picture if needed.
You can also record videos in a 480 x ... resolution which is more suitable to on TV screen. An iPod AV cable (optional accessory) is needed for TV connection.
-
To reduce the output size, you can choose a lower audio quality or lower video quaility.
-
Known as Frame Per Second (FPS). It refers to the number of pictures displayed in 1 second in order to form continuous motions. The default frame rate is 15 fps. You may choose 24fps to get more continous motions.
When selecting higher fps, increase the movie quality and size a little. This is because more frames need some amount of additional motion data to be stored.
-
Increase the level to make video appear brighter on your iPod screen. The default is level 0 (No brightness change from the original video).
