Encoding Method
|
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 encoding 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 data that was stored in the temporary files is used.
