    Automatic transcode settings question.

    nados Community Member

      Hi all,

       

      I understand what selecting the "Automatic" transcode setting means. Does selecting "Automatic: 1440x1080i MPEG-2" mean the Encore determines the optimal settings for transcoding but will be forced to use 1440x1080i MPEG2?

       

      And can i assume that if i select the maximum quality check box in the transcode window as well, that Encore will be forced to use maximum quality along with 1440x1080i MPEG2 while Encore determines the optimal settings for transcoding for everything else?

          Pretty much, yes. It will do its best to assure that that Asset is at Max. Quality, though some of the others might suffer a bit. The final will depend on the total Duration vs the disc space.

           

          Automatic tries to figure out the best possible for the entire Project, giving special attention to "problem" Assets. For me, it's been pretty good.

           

          Good luck,
