554 20. Creating Video Output

• HD creates high definition video files in the MPEG2 standard.
These are similar to the videos that are created for use with Blu-
ray. The Quality selection allows you to pick all of the standard
HD resolutions from 1080p all the way down to the non-HD 480p.
For more information on HD resolutions, see Blu-ray in Chapter
18.

• Video CD creates the same kind of video that is used when you
make a video CD. These videos are rendered in MPEG1 format at a
resolution of 352 x 240. The Quality options for this setting let
you pick what type of VCD video you want. For more information
on VCD types, see Chapter 18.

• AVI creates uncompressed videos in the AVI format. These are
created at a resolution of 720 x 480 and can be either Interlaced
or Progressive. Interlaced videos skip every other line in the video
display to save space. Remember that these videos are
uncompressed so they can become incredibly large.

• PC creates a standard video file using MPEG1 at a resolution of
320 x 240. If you choose the High or Extra High Quality options
the video will be rendered at 640 x 480 using MPEG2 as the
format.

Note: all of the video files that are designed to be used with either PAL or
NTSC television systems will give you the option to select which you want
to use in the TV System dropdown list. If that list isn’t available, for
example with HD video, it means that type of video doesn’t use a TV
System standard.

Choosing a Type and Quality preset is the easiest way to create a Custom
Video File. These are some of the most common standards that you can
find for the creation and playback of video on the PC. If you want to be
more specific about what kind of video you create, however, you can
choose Custom as the Type.
