iPod Video Settings
Crop Mode:
The native iPod screen has an aspect ratio of 4:3 (width:height). However, different video sources may use different aspect ratios (e.g 4:3, 16:9, 2.35:1). Both 16:9 and 2.35:1 are widescreen, however 2.35:1 is even wider. Some DVD movie with 2.35:1 aspect ratio contains black bars on top and bottom in order to fit into 16:9 DVD standard. For 2.35:1 extra wide movies, you may choose the following crop modes based on your personal preference.
Crop mode 1
Cut off the top black bar, use the bottom black bar for subtitle display.

Resolution:
The native resolution of iPod's screen is 320x240. PQ-DVD for iPod Video will choose the best fit resolution (320x...) based on the aspect ratio of your video source. You can select different cropping mode to change the resolution. You can also stretch/squash the picture if needed.
You can also record videos in a 480 x ... resolution which is more suitable to on TV screen. An iPod AV cable (optional accessory) is needed for TV connection.
Movie Quality & Size
To reduce the output size, you can choose a lower audio quality or lower video quaility.
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 continous 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).
