+Encoding settings examples
+
+
+ The following settings are examples of different encoding
+ options combinations that affect the speed VS quality tradeoff
+ given the same target bitrate.
+
+ If you are aiming at perfect quality without too much thinking and
+ no size limitation, a low constant quantizer encode (like with
+ ) with no B-frames
+ () will probably look very good, but
+ will needlessly spend lots of bits to encode details that could be
+ coded more wisely using some advanced settings.
+
+
+
+ All the encoding settings were tested on a 720x448 @30000/1001 fps
+ video sample, the target bitrate was 900kbps, and the machine was an
+ AMD-64 3400+ at 2400 Mhz in 64 bits mode.
+ Each encoding setting is followed by the encoding speed (in frames
+ per seconds), the compression efficiency loss (in percent of bitrate)
+ compared to the "very high quality" setting, and the PSNR loss (in dB).
+ Please understand that depending on your source your machine type
+ and the development breakthrough, you may get very different results.

+Very high quality:
+
+6fps, 0%, 0dB.
+
+High quality:
+
+13fps, -13%, -0.89dB.
+
+Fast:
+
+17fps, -20%, -1.48dB.
