1. Video Filetype

Vertical Divider

There are four options for the new video filetype:
1. MP4
2. WMV
3. AVI
4. MP3

MP4 Filetype

MPEG-4 Part 14 or MP4 is a digital multimedia container format most commonly used to store video and audio.
- If you choose this codec, the new video will be produced with a high compression, that will result in a small file (as possible). It is identical when you deal with large video files.
- The file will have a ".mp4" extension.
- Use it as as your most preffered choice

WMV Filetype

Windows Media Video (WMV) is the name of a series of video codecs and their corresponding video coding formats developed by Microsoft. It is part of the Windows Media framework. WMV version 9 was adopted for physical-delivery formats such as HD DVD &Blu-ray Disc and became known as VC-1.
- If you choose this codec, the new video will be produced with a high compression, that will result in a small file (as possible). It is identical when you deal with large video files.
- The file will have a ".wmv" extension.
- Use this filetype insteed of MP4 when your new video will be shared and played in a Windows enviroment (PC, phone, XBOX).

AVI Filetype

Audio Video Interleaved (also Audio Video Interleave), known by its initials AVI, is a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft in November 1992 as part of its Video for Windows software. Most AVI files usually aren't compressed at all. This leads to the best possible video quality, but produces a very large file.
- If you choose this codec, the new video will be produced without a high compression, that will result in a large file. It is identical when you deal with video files with a small duration.
- The file will have a ".avi" extension.
- Generally, avoid using this filetype because of the uncompressed video.

MP3 Filetype

.MPEG-1 and/or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III, more commonly referred to as MP3 (or mp3), is an audio coding format for digital audio which uses a form of lossy data compression, which are data encoding methods that use inexact approximations and partial data discarding to reduce file sizes significantly, typically by a factor of 10, in comparison with a CD, yet still sound like the original uncompressed audio to most listeners.
- If you choose the MP3 option, then you simply create a new audio file Thus, you extract the audio from the video! The new audio file can be used separately.
- The file will have a ".mp3" extension.
- Generally, use this in order to make a video-to-audio conversion.

2. Video Profile

Vertical Divider

There are 8 options available for the new video profile:

Option:	Default	1080p	720p	WVGA	NTSC	PAL	VGA	QVGA
Video Width:	Same as the original Video	1920	1280	800	720	720	640	320
Video Height:	Same as the original Video	1080	720	480	480	576	480	240

One of the most important thing to consider is to choose the new video profile correctly. It is possible that you may produce a very large file without improving the video quality.

Remeber that, the higher the resolution, the more large file will be produced, so use the profiles with caution.

Keep in mind also, that when you choose a resolution quite higher to your first video, (e.g. from a 640x480 video you choose to create a 1080p video), then you only transform the dimensions of the video. The video quality of the new video will remain the same.
We advice to do the opposite: From a video with large dimensions, create a video with lower dimension.

If for example you have a huge video file of 1080p that costs around 2 GB in your hard drive and you want to save space or you want to upload it and share with others, then choose the 720p (or the WVGA, or the VGA resolution) for the new video. You will not lost any quality and you will probably save almost 1 - 1,5 GB on your hard drive!
If you gonna watch the new video in a tablet or a phone with a resolution of 800x480 or 1024x768, then a 720p option is the best. On a PC with a high resolution this might not true.

if you are not sure what to choose, then select the "Default" option. When you use the "Default" option, the new video matches the first video in resolution. Thus, you only convert the video codec (saving space) and the quality will be remaining intact.

3. Hardware Acceleration

Vertical Divider

This options is critical when you are curious about the speed of the conversion. It doesn't have any impact on the quality of the new video.

If you leave it uncheked, then the "Hardware acceleration" option is used and the conversion will take place on the graphic card of your PC, instead of making software conversion. The default behavior is to use "Hardware Acceleration" for video conversion.

Depending on your PC's graphic card, there are cases (especially when you have old hardware), that the conversion will break. So, use it, but if you encourage any problems with the new video, re-try with the option checked.
