Encoding Preferences: The following settings are specific to
RealProducer Plus. If using other software, please use equivalent settings
as applicable:
- General Preferences: Recording, Indexing, Downloading should
all be unchecked.
- SureStream Preferences: Do not add 5.0 capability.
Emphasize Audio.
- Video Codec Preferences: RealVideo G2 with SVT. Use
2-Pass Encoding and Variable Bit Rate Encoding (VBR) on all static file
encoding. Do not use them if encoding via live capture. Use of
Loss Protection not recommended.
- Filters: Use Inverse Telecine filter only when content
is 100% from a film source, leave it off for mixed content.. Use
De-interlace filter on video content only if the source size is above
240x180 and it is interlaced. Use High quality resize if scaling
is required. (file based encoding only). Avoid use of Noise
Filters unless footage is very grainy or has lots of static. Again,
do not use these filters if encoding via live capture.
Video Settings (Cropping and Resizing)
- When encoding from larger clips: Use RealProducer's resizing and
cropping functions.
- Crop vertical blanking interval code out of frame if it exists. Be
sure to maintain target frame size of 176x132.
- Do not crop or resize if encoding via live capture. Use capture card
or other upstream video hardware for this function.
Note: Restore Defaults
Clicking "Restore Defaults" in RealProducer
8 or 8.5 will also revert the video and/or audio codecs to 8.0. Please
check all preferences and target audience settings often.
