Method 1 - Step Three~ Basic Options<br>
<br>
</strong> When converting a folder, file information is read from the
1st file in that folder. This is because most files in the same folder
are of the same series, thus have similar settings.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="-1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">After
analysis, an Options window will appear with various options. I know it
may be overwhelming to new users, but that's what makes AllToAVI useful.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="-1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Here
I will only go through the basic ones you need to know to start encoding
(Section 3, 4, 5, 7). For details, please check out the "Settings
Explanation" section.</font></p>
<p><img src="gfx/single4.jpg" width="469" height="290"></p>

<p align="justify"><img src="gfx/single4-1.jpg" width="242" height="72"></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="-1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">-
"Screen Size", you can chose how big you want the output to
be.<br>
- "Locked Aspect", Normally keep it ticked (details in Detailed
section) <br>

<p align="justify"><img src="gfx/single4-3.jpg" width="345" height="226"></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="-1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">-
"Video Encoder", chose either XViD or DIVX to be safe<br>
- "Video Bitrate", for your reference, a 640x480 video should
have a bitrate around 1200 - 2000, anything bigger
is a waste. 320x240 should have a max of 750,
minimum of 500.<br>
- "Quantizer", please move your mouse over the option to read
details<br>
- "Audio Bitrate", I suggest you leave it at 128<br>
- "Subtitle/Audio", to read how they work, move your mouse over
the down arrow of the drop down box</font><br>
