I cannot find anywhere to set width and height of output video. This makes no sense at all. You MUST be able to specify the quality of the output AND the size of the output. But all I can find is preset 'quality' choices with hardcoded sizes for each. So I cannot choose the one I want because it has a postage stamp output size of 320 x 240 (almost all of them do). I am forced to choose output for zune?? (whatever that means in terms of quality) because it is hardcoded to 640 x 480 which is still not the size I want but it is closer than the tiny 320 x 240 that most choices force me to take. Is the width/height controlled somewhere else? And if so, why wouldn't it be on the same output screen?

Hi Robb,
I take it that you are selecting WMV format, if you use the search function (top of screen) and search for custom profiles, you should find posts of how to create custom profiles.
If you cannot find the information you require, contact the moderator, Dafydd, he will be able to assist you in creating custom profiles.
I'm set now but I would like to address your reply because that is what doesn't make sense to me in such a robust program. If you want HD quality why should 1280x720 be my only choice. Quality is not tied to size. There are very good quality yet small size clips just as there are horrible quality clips of the same size. The same applies to any size of course. To have to sacrifice quality because it only comes in a size you can't use is limiting (in my opinion)
Thank you for replying and thank you for listing the available options. I appreciate the effort!
Robb

Rburn,
I think you may have missed the point sorta. That is for WMV's . There are better formats than WMV available, but if you are set on using the WMV format, those are the options that come standard with PD8. I personally don't make many WMV's.
Cheers!

Kevin,
Thank you for your quick reply... I am not well informed with all the available formats... Where does MP4 (my new camera gives me 1280x720 @ 60 fps) fall? Is MP4 short for mpeg-4?
Bill
Note - I found out that MP4 is a mpeg-4 part 14 video... While PD8 does support mpeg-4 they are only small in frame size... Am I missing something?
Bill

Bill,
I have no clue about your camera, but the formats I mentioned are rendered videos not raw footage. But if you can record at those specs you should be able to do almost anything you want with them. Is it a HD camera?
As to your 2nd question, that would be YES. MP-? is short for mpeg-? in most cases.
Hope this helps!
