3. Based on the aspect ration of the video source PQ DVD to
iPod Video Converter will choose the best resolution for the
output iPod video. Nevertheless you can select a
resolution of your choice to stretch/squash the picture.
Alternatively, you can choose a Crop Mode to cut
unimportant parts of the video (like top/bottom black bars or
subtitles).
You can also adjust the desired quality to reduce the output
size of the movie.
In the preview window you will see what the resulting movie will
look like.
When you have set the desired settings simple click on the
"Record it" button to convert the video/DVD. Depending on the
settings a 60 minutes video is converted on average for 25
minutes.

Additional Settings
1. Video Settings
Video Frame Rate
Known as Frame Per Second (FPS). It refers to the number of
pictures displayed in 1 second in order to form continuous
motions. The default frame rate is 15 fps. You may choose 24fps
to get more continuos motions.
When selecting higher fps, increase the movie quality and size a
little. This is because more frames need some amount of
additional motion data to be stored.
Brightness Level
Increase the level to make video appear brighter on your iPod
screen. The default is level 0 (No brightness change from the
original video).
2. Audio Options
Audio Quality
There are 6 audio quality modes to choose: 32kbps Mono, 48kbps
Mono, 48Kbps Stereo, 64Kbps Stereo, 96Kbps Stereo, 128Kbps
Stereo.
Audio Bitrate (in Kbits per second)
Audio bitrate refers to how many data storage is allocated to
store audio signals. The higher audio bitrate, the better audio
quality.
Audio Volume
You can change output audio volume in "Output Settings" dialog.
The default volume level is 5 (original volume).
Stereo to Mono
When the output audio is set to Mono, you can choose which
stereo channel (of input source) to be copied into the Mono
channel (output). It is useful for some video sources (e.g. VCD)
which use the left, right channels for different languages or
for karaoke.
3. DVD subtitle(subpicture), language
It is recommended to use the native DVD menu in the preview
panel to set subtitle(subpicture) and language. (Click "DVD
menu" button on the right to show native DVD menu in the preview
panel) You may also change the subtitle(subpicture), language in
the program's Options menu, but there are some DVDs that require
the change must be made in the native DVD menu instead of the
program's menu.
4. Testing recorded video file
You can test the recorded video file on your PC using QuickTime
to see if it works well.
