AVS Video Converter - Advanced Settings
In the main window you can select input files, set output files names, destination and formats and set most of the parameters you need to convert a video file.
Click the << Advanced button in the main window and you will be able to set the processing mode, get information about input and output files parameters and set the output video file aspect parameters.
To open Advanced Settings press the 
button in the right bottom corner of the Main Window twice and select the File Information tab. The advanced settings menu is located at the bottom of the main window and provides the information on audio and video parameters of your media. It allows you to preview the output file properties before you start the conversion.
Note: if your input file is a
DVD file you will be able to manually select the
audio track for your output file. Particularly, you can select the
language of your track, if such option is given on the original DVD:
The same way you can select the audio track for an .avi video file that has more than one audio track in it.
If you want to split a file limiting the size of your output files or split by markers, follow the instructions of the Split chapter.
When you click the Aspect Correction tab, you will be presented with the opportunity to change the output video image aspect ratio:
Aspect Correction might be very helpful when you change the original file width and height. In this case the image proportions can get affected and you will need to correct them so that the image in the output file were not elongated or flattened. The main types of the aspect correction available for different types of the output formats are:
| No correction |
The output file image will be resized according to the width and height settings selected in the format profile editor. Use this setting only if you are sure that the image is not going to be distorted with the parameters set. The setting is available for all the output file formats except DVD. |
| Original |
The output file image resizing will be corrected according to the input file width to height ratio. This is done to retain the original file image proportions and avoid the distortions. The setting is available for all the output file formats except DVD. |
| 4:3 (DVD, MPEG-1, MPEG-2) |
The output file image resizing will be corrected so that its width to height ratio equaled 4 to 3 ratio. This is done so that you could playback the output image on a standard TV screen without distortions. The setting is available for DVD and MPEG formats only. |
| 16:9 (DVD, MPEG-1, MPEG-2) |
The output file image resizing will be corrected so that its width to height ratio equaled 16 to 9 ratio. This is done so that you could playback the output image on a widescreen TV without distortions. The setting is available for DVD and MPEG formats only. |
Note: in case you are using the image aspect correction (
Original,
4:3 or
16:9), black areas - mattes - can be added to the image sides or upper and lower parts. To get rid of them you can use the
Crop function. To do that select the
Crop Scale value but bear in mind that a part of the image will also be lost to retain the aspect ratio (a function similar to pan-and-scan in some DVD player models).
You can also read the Aspect Ratio section of the Appendix to learn more on different aspects.
