Video Quality: It can quite quickly and conveniently help you set a video quality standard for
files generated without going through all the specifics.
Video Codec: Generally, it has been pre-set by the developers who thoroughly and seriously
considered users needs; thus it works pretty well in terms of both quality and speed.
Video Resolution: It specifically relates to the output videos resolution. It is not quite advisable
to set it to a exceedingly high standard unless you truly have to for some reasons, since the files
generated can be ridiculously huge and the converting process can be more time-consuming.
Video Bit Rate: Video bit rate specifies the amount of information stored in the video. The higher
bit rate you choose, the clearer output videos would be. This very setting normally depends on
selected resolution, and it would be better to leave it auto. If you must need to make videos
generated clearer, you can always try to increase the figure.

Video Frame Rate: The frame rate determines how fast video frame refreshes. For videos of lots
of intense moving actions, you probably need a higher frame rate to combat jerkiness. The
default value suffices in most cases.
Audio Quality: It can quite quickly and conveniently help you set an audio quality standard for
files generated without going through all the specifics.
Audio Codec: Generally, the default setting for each format has been set by the program. In most
cases, the pre-set codec works very well in terms of both quality and speed.
Audio Sample Rate: The audio sample rate determines the resolution of the audio files. The
higher sampling rate is, the clearer audio file would be. However, like what was mentioned
above, its size increases accordingly as well.
Audio Bit Rate: The audio bit rate determines the amount of information stored in an audio file.
A higher bit rate considerably contributes to a better audio quality; yet, the files size, on the
other hand, usually tends to get bigger accordingly.
Audio Channel: You can use 1 (mono), 2 (Stereo) and 5.1(Surround)effect. The second one is
pre-set.
