Some Important terms

Video Bitrate

Bitrate affects the video quality in such a way that higher bitrate will produce videos with better quality, while it also increases the size of recorded video

Audio bitrate

Bitrate affects the audio quality in such a way that higher bitrate will produce videos with better quality, while it also increases the size of recorded video

Input Video Frame Rate

Frame rate is defined as number of frames or images captured per second in a video. higher frame rates are used when there is a lot of motion in the video. Any value above 30 FPS is suggested, while 60 FPS is best. This option sets the framerate of stream coming from your camera

Output Video Frame Rate

This option sets the framerate of final recorded video

Input Stream Resolution

It Sets the resolution of stream coming from the connected camera. ‘default’ option will maintain the original recorded video width and height, use this option when the text in screen recording appears stretched. User can choose any one of various resolutions provided. The default resolution will be highest supported by your camera.

Output Video Resolution

It Sets the resolution of output video. ‘default’ option will maintain the original recorded video width and height, use this option when the text in screen recording appears stretched. User can choose any one of various resolutions provided. The default resolution for HiFi Recorder application is 1920*1080

Fade Effect on Video

Fade Effect Duration (seconds)

Allows to set the duration for which FADE effect should be applied to start and end of the video. (Applied only if FADE effect value is "ENABLED")

Preset

These presets affect the encoding speed. Using a slower preset gives you better compression, or quality per file size whereas faster presets give you worse compression. Various Preset modes are available. User can choose any one of these. The Superfast mode is default for HiFi Recorder application. Ultrafast mode compresses the video in fast speed but the quality of video is hampered. Whereas Very slow mode compresses the video slowest as compared to Ultrafast mode but the quality of video is maintained

Max Muxing Queue Size

If starting few frames of any video have more data than the normal limit , then video processing might generate error, Use this option to increase the normal limit . Default is AUTO. if error occures use 512, 1024 or 2048

CRF

The range of CRF is 0-51: values closer to 0 will make processing slower but with better quality. Keeping this value 23 is ideal and 51 makes the processing fastest but quality is worst
