To add video files to encode, click 'Open File' in the toolbar. You can select and add multiple files at once. You can also drag and drop files into the program. This is one of the quirks of the program which makes it slightly confusing to use and is important to remember when using it. When editing the output properties of the videos, only the files selected / highlighted in the list are being edited. If you want to edit the properties of all of the videos at once, you must highlight all of the videos in the list.If you want to edit the properties of just one video, only select that one video.You can select and highlight any videos you want to edit the properties of just those videos.The format tab allows you to choose the container type (AVI, MKV, MP4, etc.) and the video and audio codecs (H.264, XVID, AAC, MP3, etc).

There are also several presets available for devices available from various manufacturers.įor this guide, I'm going to be using the 'Custom' setting so I can cover most of the features available. The GUI automatically hides settings which are incompatible or irrelevant to the current device, container, or codec.įor this example,we’re using MP4 as the container format, MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 as the video codec and AAC as the audio codec. You can choose a different codec format for each audio track if you wish. If you want to remove the video or audio stream, you can select Video only or Audio only to the right. The video tab allows you to edit several settings. You can adjust some basic settings like Bitrate and framerate, or more advanced settings like B-Frames and Quantizers. To speed things up, the only setting you need to change will be the one labeled Mode.īy default, this is set to convert. As we do not want to change any of the formatting of the original clip, click the drop down and select Copy.
