for PAL. See the Video Standards of the World topic if you do not know your standard.
9 Frame size should be 720x480 for NTSC and 720x576 for PAL for full screen
resolution. If you wish to use the half resolution MPEG1 size you will need to set the
frame size to 352x240 for NTSC and 352x288 for PAL.
10 Select the Compression tab.
11 In the Compression tab set Media Type to MPEG2 for full screen video or MPEG1
for half the video resolution, which SpruceUp will scale to full screen.
12 The Video Data Rate should be set high enough to preserve the quality of the
original video. Higher settings result in large files however. Normal full screen DV AVI
files using MPEG-2 encoding should be kept at 4000 kbps or higher. DVD data rates
cannot go above 9800 kbps. MPEG-1 maximum data rate is 1856 kbps, with 1150
kbps as typical.
13 Do not select I frames only as this leads to large files with little of the compression
benefit of MPEG encoding.
14 Set Audio Type to Joint Stereo.
15 Set the Audio bit rate to 192, 224, or 384 kbps. As with the video, higher rates
make better quality with the trade off of larger files. See the Audio Assets topic for
details.
16 The Audio Frequency must be set at 48000 Hz/Sec.
