Detailed Conguration
Appendix
If you wish to congure image quality settings
individually, click [Add] in step 4 on page 4, and
set the details as desired. Individual items can be
selected under [New Prole].
The following items can be set.
Mode
Mode can be selected from constant bitrate (CBR),
variable bitrate (CVBR), and constant quality (CQ).
The features of each mode are explained in the
[Glossary] on page 21. Items that can be set in [Rate
settings] differ depending on the mode selected
here.
Bitrate
The larger the set value, the clearer the image
will be. However, the size of the recorded le also
increases. The possible setting range is 192~8000
(kbps).
If [Variable Bitrate] is selected in adjustment mode,
recording is performed within the range of bitrates
set for maximum bitrate and minimum bitrate. Set
this value so that it falls between the [Maximum
Bitrate] and [Minimum Bitrate] which will be set
below.
Maximum Bitrate
This setting is the maximum bitrate used when
recording. This can only be set when [Variable
Bitrate] is selected in adjustment mode. It is possible
to set a value in the range of the [Bitrate] value in
the item above ~8000 (kbps).
Minimum Bitrate
This setting is the minimum bitrate used when
recording. This can only be set when [Variable
bitrate] is selected in adjustment mode. It is possible
to set a value in the range of the [Bitrate] value in
the item above ~192 (kbps).
DeInterlacing
“Bob” interlacing produces the sharpest image but
may leave noise artifacts. “Median” interlacing
reduces noise but may remove image detail.
CPU processing speed
Image quality improves with a larger value, but the
strain placed on the CPU (computer) also increases.
Use higher numbers if you have a fast computer.
Normally, a value in the range of
0~2 is used.
Audio bitrate
A high bitrate provides higher sound quality, but it
also increases the size of the le.

Note
You can specify the save destination
and name of the le after conversion by
clicking [Output le]-[Browse]. By default,
the converted le is added and saved
to the same location as the conversion
source le, and [MPEG2 (PC-P1LAN)]_000
is added to the end of the le name (the
000 number counts up when the same
name le is converted a number of times).

[Conversion completed].

Note
To stop the conversion process, click
[Stop]. Click [Start] to restart a stopped
le.
