Table of Video Output Settings

Section 1A ¿C VCD-SVCD: MPEG specific Settings for Video CD (VCD ¿C MPEG1) and Super Video CD settings (SVCD-MPEG2)

  

Video Bitrate:
Video bit rate of the output MPEG file.
For VCD the video bit rate must be between 650 and 1150 Kbit/s.
For SVCD the video bit rate must be lower than 2600 Kbit/s (2376 is recommended)
Default is : 1150 (for Video CD) or 2376 (for Super Video CD)

Audio Bitrate:
Audio bit rate of the output MPEG file.
For VCD the audio bit rate must be 224 Kbit/s
Default is : 224

Motion Search:
Compression speed optimization. Use the following settings to obtain a balance between rendering speed and noise (or blurring) around moving objects in the output file.
Normal : Normal(fast)
Good : Good
High : Better quality (slow)
Very High : Best quality (very slow)
Default is : Good

Calculation mode:
CPU calculation mode.
0 : MMX (works only on Intel MMX processors)
1 : 3DNow (for AMD user)
2 : SSE2 for IntelP4 processor, or AMD 64 bit processorú¿Please Note: ImTOO DVD Ripper is unable to detect AMD 64 CPU correctly, so AMD 64 users need select this option manuallyú⌐
3 : Normal (slow) does not perform an MMX calculation
The default value is detected automatically.

DCT/iDCT:
DCT and iDCT routines.
0 : MMX for MMX processor
1 : SSE2 for IntelP4 processor
2 : FPU (highest quality)
The default value is detected automatically.

Section 1B ¿C VCD-SVCD: Expert settings



Mux Rate:
Increases the multiplexing rate by Mux_Rate% . Use this parameter to avoid underflow.
As you increase this value, the output file will become slightly larger.
Default is : for VCD = 1.4, for SVCD = 5.6

VBV buffer size:
Size of the VBV buffer. 20 is recommended for VCD, 112 for SCVD.
Default is : 20

Quant matrix:
The quant matrices that ImTOO DVD Ripper uses to compress video data are defined in source code. ImTOO DVD Ripper determines which one will be selected automatically. Options are,
1) default,
2) MPEG standard
Default is: í░defaultí▒

Export:
Video format passed to the premiere plugin (compatible with the Video Server) and to the AVI codec.
The internal MPEG encoder only uses a 4:2:0 YUV formats; so this setting is ignored
Default is : RGB24

Pulldown 3:2:
Converts 23.976Hz to 29.97Hz (NTSC Only).
Default is : Unchecked = no conversion

Section 2 ¿C AVI (DivX, YUV, í¡): MPEG specific and Expert settings



Audio drop down box:
You may select one of the following audio options,
1) Disable ¿C no audio is output.
2) Store to WAV ¿C produces uncompressed 16 bit stereo at 44.1 KHz.
3) Use MP3 ¿C produces MP3 audio format. Selecting this option will enable the adjacent í░AUDIOí▒ button. Click the í░AUDIOí▒ button to select MP3 options for bit rate, quality, channel (stereo or mono), and settings for the low pass/high pass filter.
4) Use ACM.

NOTE: If you want to export audio as an AC3 file, then select option 1) above (í░Disableí▒ option). Make certain that you have also selected, í░Export AC3 streamí▒ AND have checked, the í░Dolby Surroundí▒ box in the í░Audioí▒ section of the í░Input Settingsí▒ window. ImTOO DVD Ripper will then output an AVI file and an AC3 file at the same time.

Codec:
From the drop down list box select the codec to use in the output file.

Multi Pass (í«Enable Videoí» box - í«Enable 2 ndí» box):
Allows the audio and video to be read in 2 passes. You can use this option if you encode with TMPGEnc and use a 2Pass VBR.
UNCHECK this box if you do CBR or a one pass VBR.
When you check a box, then the corresponding í░pass 1 settingsí▒ button or í░pass 2 settingsí▒ button, will be enabled so that you may choose options for the currently selected codec. The options presented will differ depending on the particular codec selected.
Default is : Unchecked

Export (AVI+Premiere):
Video format passed to the Premiere plugin (compatible with the Video Server) and to the AVI codec.
The YUY2 format is in fact a 4:2:2 YUV format (very good for DivX encoding) Options for the color spectrum of the output file are,
1) RGB24
2) RGB32
3) YV12
4) YUY2

Section 3 ¿C í░Export and Miscí▒ settings for ALL OUTPUT modes



Export settings

Resolution:
Output resolution in pixels.
PAL: 352 x 288, NTSC: 352 x 240
Default is : 352 x 240

Video Resize:
Video resizing filter options are,
Nearest neighbor: Uses the nearest pixel. (No filtering).
BiLinear: very accurate but slow.
BiLinear MMX: very accurate and fast
BiCubic: very accurate bicubic filter but very slow.
BiCubic SSE: SSE implementation of accurate bicubic filter that works on PIII, or K7, or higher CPU.
Pseudo BiCubic: not accurate but very fast.
Bilinear uses 2x2 pixel region of nearest points to smooth the picture.
BiCubic uses 4x4 pixel region of nearest points to smooth the picture.
TAP filters are 2Pass filters, that give the best quality, but are slower (Please Note: The TAP filters are the options prefixed with í«TABí»).

Bilinear uses 2*2 nearest points to smooth the picture
BiCubic uses 4*4 nearest points to smooth the picture
TAP filters are 2Pass filters,they give best quality
but are slower.

Max frames:
Maximum number of frames to encode. Click the adjacent í░Wholeí▒ button in order to select all frames
Default is : 999999

Miscellaneous settings

Ignore Overwrite message:
Check the box to automatically overwrite any existing file of the same name.If you leave the box unchecked, you will be prompted whether or not you wish to overwrite a file with the same name.
Default is : Unchecked

Render every 0=none:
This means ImTOO DVD Ripper render one frame and display it in the preview window every nn frames
Default is: 25
