Typical value is 10-30. 

 

Encoded Size 

 sets the output video resolution from 640x360 to 1920x1080. 

Auto causes the output size to match the input size. 

 

Bitrate 

 the encoded video bit rate in Kbps (1000 = 1 Mbps) 

 

H264 Profile 

 Baseline, Main, or High (Main preferred) 

 

Encoding Framerate 

 video frame rate from 1 to 60.  Lower frame rate for low 

motion video can improve quality.  Typically set to 30. 

 

Package 

 the encoded stream may be optimized to appear more like FFMPEG 

or more like VLC.   

 

Buffer Mode 

 sets how many 188-byte packets are buffered. Default 188x7
