Description
Video Encoder
A tool of video compression. A better video encoder
produces higher video resolutions with less video
distortion and smaller file size.
Video Size
Here you can choose the video display size of the
recorded file. Bigger video size will have larger file
size, but better video quality will be gained. Some
displayers may not support large video size. Please
choose one based on your needs.
Video Quality
Adjust the video quality with
. Higher numbers
indicate better video quality but bigger file size.
Video Bitrate
Video bitrate refers to the number of bits used per
second. Higher bitrate means a bigger file size and
generally better video quality.
Entropy Mode
CALVC or CABAC are two modes of entropy
encoding, a data compression scheme, for H.264.
CAVLC, supported in all H.264 profiles, is the
lower-quality, easier-to-decode option. CABAC
delivers higher-quality video and compresses data
