In addition to these standard audiences, you can record
clips for connection speeds of 100 Kbps, 200 Kbps, or
higher. These higher bandwidths are suitable for
audiences that use corporate Local Area Networks
(LANs), cable modems or Digital Subscriber Line
(DSL) modems.
If you want to keep file sizes to a minimum, audio for
many digital uses can be set to 8-bit mono at 11 KHz.
As a rule of thumb, try 8-bit 11 KHz for audio that is
mostly speech, and 16-bit stereo at 22 or 44.1 KHz for
audio that is predominantly music. For comparison,
CD-ROM music is 16-bit stereo sampled at 44.1 KHz.
Video quality: These choices let you balance the rival
requirements of image quality and frame rate.
• No video: When this selection is made, the output
file will contain audio only.
• Normal motion video: Recommended for mixed
content clips to balance video motion and image
clarity.
• Smoothest motion video: Recommended for clips
that contain limited action, such as newscasts or
interviews, to enhance overall video motion.
• Sharpest image video: Recommended for high-
action clips to enhance overall image clarity.
• Slide show: The video appears as a series of still
photos, providing the best overall image clarity.
Audio quality: This dropdown menu lets you choose
the characteristics of your audio track. Studio uses this
information to select the best audio compression for
your RealVideo file. Each successive option provides
better audio quality but a larger resulting file.
