Select resolution and quality of
output movies.
Note : For best compression iRiver recommends
using the "Low" setting. This will allow more
video files to be stored on a portable player.
Set to "High" for optimal resolution when
outputting to a TV or other video source.
Files will take up more space but quality on
external sources will be improved.

Activate or deactivate Forced
Audio/Video Sync.
Note : Forced Audio/Video Sync
If the source movie clip has VBR
(Variable Bit Rate) audio stream,
the converted movie may have audio/video
sync problem. When activated, Forced
Audio/Video Sync reduces lots of loss in
video/audio sync of converted movie.
