Speed Quality Indicator
When encoding, the trade-off parameter consists of speed versus quality. '0'
is for the fastest speed with the lowest quality while '3' is for the best quality
at the lowest speed but consumes more CPU resources.
Frame Size
This determines the frame size when recording. The available sizes are
320x240, 352x240, 352x288, 640x480, 720x480, 720x576 or As Source,
which is dependent on the driver's automatic settings.

Creating your Own Profile
If it's precision you desire-as a video editing professional-look no further than
PowerVCR when recording video files. Basic users or video aficionados alike
may create numerous recording profiles tailored to their every need and
heart's content.
1. Click System Settings while in the Live/Digital Recorder mode.
2. Click the Profiles tab and then select an existing profile that closely
matches with the new profile you want to create.
3. Click New only after selecting an existing profile.
4. Rename your profile in the Profile Name field.
5. Click the Video tab.
6. Select an encoding format.
7. Select an Output Size for your video content by clicking the drop-
down menu. Remember that the larger the size, the more disk space
used.
8. Drag the Video Bitrate slider left to decrease the Kbps (kilobits per
second) or right to increase the quality of video content but at the
expense of disk space consumed.
9. Click the Audio tab.
10. Click the Audio Bitrate drop-down menu and select Kbps (kilobits per

the I-Frame Only box. Refer to the
