The software brings users a convenient way to control video quality, namely bitrate, which is available in the "Video Setting" area. Generally speaking, the higher the bitrate is, the better the video quality will be.
Take converting video to iPad for example. The resolution is 640:480.
1. Set the bitrate between 1500 and 1800: If you just want to have a much smaller output file size and much faster converting speed without caring about the quality, this choice is the one for you.
2. Set the bitrate between 1800 and 2500: This is the most compromising choice if you want to have high video quality, small output file size and fast converting speed. 1800 kbps is the default bitrate setting for iPad (achieve the best balance between quality, speed and target file size).
3. Set the bitrate between 2500 to 3000: If your concern is quality, this setting will provide you optimum video quality. But the file size will be accordingly bigger and it will takes a little longer to finish the conversion.
