Screen Video Compression Setup Options
In the Video Compression Setup dialog box, you can change your screen video codec selection and adjust
compression quality and key frame rate. Additional configuration options for the codec may be available by
clicking the Configure button in the Video Compression Setup dialog box.
For more information on codecs, see
Codecs in Morae.
The contents of this dialog box may differ and certain options may be disabled, depending on the screen
video codec chosen.
Each codec has unique configuration options. For more information about a particular codec's options,
consult the documentation from the company providing that codec.
The following table describes the Video Compression Setup dialog box.
OPTION DESCRIPTION
Compressor Select the codec from the dropdown list.
Compression
quality
Configures the codec to compress at a lower image quality and create a smaller file size,
or compress at a higher image quality, resulting in a larger file size.
Adjust the compression quality using the slider bar. For higher quality, move the bar to
the right. For lower quality, move the bar to the left.
Key frame
every (n)
frames
Specify how often to record a key frame. We recommend that you accept the default
value for the codec.
The codec places key frames at regular intervals, either spacing them by number of
seconds or number of frames. Each codec has an optimized key frame setting.
Data rate
(KB/Sec)
Determine the number of bytes of data the codec transmits or receives in one second. A
higher data rate results in better quality and larger file sizes.
If this option is available for the codec, place a checkmark in the adjacent box and
specify the data rate in Kb/Sec.
Configure Set configuration options for the selected compressor. For more information, see
Configure Video Compression Setups.
