Using custom settings

If you are unsatisfied with presets, select a custom video size, framerate and video bitrate, switch between stereo and mono audio and select audio bitrate and sampling rate.

NOTE! If the video width is less than 400, the simple online video player will be created in place of larger HD video player.
