I have Cyberlink Media Suite 16 Ultimate / Power Director 16 on Windows 8.1 (64 bit).

After trimming in PowerDirector, when I go to save it, I see fixed options like:

1920x1080p, 24fps (11Mbps)

1920x1080p, 30fps (11Mbps)

1 - Is it possible to customize these options to say, 1920x1080p, 30fps (14Mbps), etc. ?
(Change the Mbps, or, any of the other parameters ?)

I had an MP4 video file : ~3GB, 1920x1080p, 29fps, ~13.6Mbps

After trimming, I picked "1920x1080p, 30fps (11Mbps)", but after saving it was : ~1.8GB, 1920x1080p, 29fps, 9.4Mbps !
(The reduced size is fine, but why wasn't it 11 Mbps as per the selected choice from the dropdown ?)

2 - So apparently the quality of the saved file (9.4 Mbps) can't be selected to be the same as the original (14 Mbps), nor is it the same as the dropdown selection (11 Mbps) after the save ?
-- Please see 2 attached snapshotsof Before & After file properties.

Click the "+" sign to the right of the "Profile name/Quality:" area and define and save what you wish.

Another option is to select the "Intelligent SVRT" at the top and see what profile PD creates for your source content in the timeline and adjust as you see fit.

I found that "Intelligent SVRT" does not work w/ H.265, if I clicked on it at the top, it automatically switched to H.264 & created its Intelligent SVRT custom profile there. I tried below things:

(Audio was the same for all - 383 Kbps, 2channel, 48KHz)

H.265 - my custom profile of 1920x1080p, 30fps, 14Mbps

Quality option = was going to take 4.25 hrs, I aborted this !

Speed option = took 1.25 hrs

H.264 - Intelligent SVRT +

SVRT radio button = took 2 mins - see attached file

Intel Quick Sync Video = took 14 mins - see attached file

Thanks for the tip about clicking the "Intelligent SVRT" button at the top, it worked the best for me - faithfully reproduced my originally recorded mp4 quality & w/in reasonable time. So I went w/ the H.264 + Intelligent SVRT + SVRT radio button option.

When an Intelligent SVRT profile is available, it will always be the same encoding format that your source clip is encoded in. Here, your source clip is H.264, so you can't use SVRT if you want to produce to H.265 - you have to do a full re-encode and it may take much longer to produce.

If you have an H.265 source clip, any available SVRT profiles will always be H.265.
