There are two default profiles.
 Full—Full resolution keeps the source video’s screen resolution, and basically creates an output
file with the new format for the provided input. Video and audio quality should be very similar to
the source material for Full resolution videos. You may notice some differences between the
original and Full resolution output, but these differences are minimal in most situations.
Mobile—The Mobile resolution creates a video that is suitable for mobile devices and remote
video streaming (the video will be no larger than QVGA: 320w x 240h). This is to make support
of mobile devices easier and to provide videos suitable for remote media streaming.
