Reference Frames	H.264/AVC H.265/HEVC	Allows setting the number of reference frames.
Option to adjust stream structure for standards	H.264/AVC H.265/HEVC	Allows adjusting the video stream to comply with Blu-ray Disc, AVCHD, XAVC (MXF), XAVC S and XAVC HS standards. Note: Enabling this option alone may not ensure full compliance. Additional parameter adjustments are required to meet the standards. In general, we recommend using the dedicated MPEG file templates for each standard. * This option may be available only for the x264 and x265 encoders.

* For the details of each parameters, please refer to each of the output settings pages.

GOP Structure

Content	Allows setting the maximum number of reference frames, the number of B-frames, the normal number of frames, and the minimum number of frames within a GOP.
Bitstream Output for Editing	Closed GOP: Removes references between GOPs.
Bitstream Output for Editing	Open GOP: Starts a GOP from a B-frame that is referenced by another GOP.
Sequence Header Output	Allows including video characteristics in the sequence header of each GOP.
Scene Change Detection	Automatically inserts an I-frame when a scene change is detected. It also allows setting the sensitivity.

* The GOP structure settings that can be specified vary depending on the encoder used.

Other

Chapter Addition	Allows outputting keyframes as chapter entry points in MP4, MKV or MOV containers. (A chapter name can be set by right-clicking a keyframe in the list.) * QuickTime Player may not display text in unsupported languages.
Metadata Addition	Allows adding "Title", "Subtitle (except FLV/MOV)", "Artist", "Copyright" and "Comment (except FLV/MOV)" metadata in MP4, MKV, FLV, or MOV containers. * Viewing metadata requires a compatible player.

*1 MPEG-1 VBR (variable bitrate) file import is not supported.
*2 Depending on the settings and device used, an audio gap may appear in the captured movie data. Please use the trial version to verify the quality of your capture system.
*3 Transport stream import tested with sources generated by a JVC GR-HD1 and a SONY HDR-FX1/HC1.
*4 DVD-VR import requires a media-compatible drive and UDF 2.0 support. While standard Windows installations provide limited support for the UDF 2.0 format, they may not be able to fully copy or read certain discs. As a result, these functions may not be available. This application cannot process DVD-Video protected by copyright or anti-copy enforcement systems such as CSS and CPRM.
*5 Some MTS files recorded in Blu-ray formats (AVCHD, BDMV, and BDAV) may not be correctly processed due to their internal structure. It is recommended to use the Source Wizard to import such files. Blu-ray (BDAV/BDMV) import requires a media-compatible drive and UDF 2.5 or 2.6 support. (Analysis import from BDXL media is not supported.) This application cannot process Blu-ray (BDAV/BDMV) content protected by copyright or anti-copy enforcement systems.
*6 The video YUV colorspace is interpolated to the Type-2 DV codec used by our company for AVI input, allowing for higher picture quality. Except for uncompressed AVI files, importing AVI files requires the appropriate codec for the file format. Type-1 DV and other imports through DirectShow depend on the system environment. Therefore, it is normal for some AVI files to be unreadable. Additionally, audio may not be available in the second clip if the system only allows one instance of a codec to be active at a time.
*7 Live broadcasts streamed over the Internet are not supported. Files protected by Windows Media Digital Rights Management (DRM) are not supported. Files that do not have a seekable (cue) flag are also not supported.
*8 Imports through DirectShow or Media Foundation require the appropriate codec (playback software). Additionally, the standard formats supported by Media Foundation depend on the operating system environment.
*9 Supports CBR and VBR.

However, depending on the settings and devices used, audio gaps may appear in the captured movie data. We recommend using the trial version to verify the quality of your capture system before purchasing the retail version. Partially damaged source files may not be imported at all. This application cannot process DVD-Video or Blu-ray content protected by copyright or anti-copy enforcement systems such as CSS or CPRM.
