It allows you to specify framerate, bitrate, size everything you would want to manipulate. Go into the option menu for the extra control. I wish standalone dvd players would support mkv and h.264 as it is the most efficient mpeg4 container Some do support but are still expensive a normal video parameters for a non hd player would be 720x480 resolution, framerate ntsc 29.97 Videobitrate 1500-2500 Always select 2 pass for best results -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
