MOV, QuickTime Video

To generate a MOV (*.mov) file, it is necessary to set the output format properly. For that open the "Profile Settings" dialog window (or make use of the "Properties" window). In the Main section select "MOV, QuickTime Video" from the "Output Format" list:

Video encoding parameters.

Go to the Video section. The following parameters are available here:

• Codec - the codec that will be used for compression of the video stream. This list includes all codecs installed on your computer that can be used for encoding video into MOV format. These codecs are not delivered along with Watermark Master, and we are not responsible for the quality of their work.

Some codecs may have extra (their own) options. To access them, click "..." button on the right of the selected codec. Some of these options may require to be set again every time you load the config file since they cannot be saved.

Depending on the selected codec, the following parameters may be available:

• Key frame rate - the rate with which key frames are created. The higher its value, the larger the produced file size. However, a too small value may result in quality loss and difficult navigation through the produced file.

• Quality - the quality of the produced file. This parameter can take values from 0 (minimum quality) to 100 (maximum quality).

• Max data rate - the maximum allowed number of bits used for representation of one second of the encoded video stream. The higher its value, the larger the produced file size and the higher the produced file quality. We guess the optimal value can be found in an experimental way only. However, it is necessary to remember that the ratio between the produced file size and quality also depends on the selected frame rate and frame size.

• Color depth - the number of colors used for representation of the produced video file.

Audio encoding parameters.

Go to the Audio section. The following parameters are available here:

• Codec - the codec that will be used for compression of the audio stream. This list includes all codecs installed on your computer that support Direct Show interface. These codecs are not delivered along with Watermark Master, and we are not responsible for the quality of their work.

Some codecs may have extra (their own) options. To access them, click "..." button on the right of the selected codec. Some of these options may require to be set again every time you load the config file since they cannot be saved.

• Sampling Rate - the number of samples used for representation of one second of the audio stream. This parameter can take one of the following values:

1. 48000 Hz.

2. 44100 Hz

3. 32000 Hz

4. 24000 Hz

5. 22050 Hz

6. 11025 Hz

7. 8000 Hz

• Channel - the number of channels in the audio stream. This parameter can take one of the following values:

1. Stereo - 2 channels.

2. Mono - 1 channel.

• Precision - the number of bits used for representation of one sample of the audio stream. This parameter can take one of the following values:

1. 16 bits.

2. 8 bits.
