Audio
Bitrate:
Audio bit rate of the output MPEG file.
For VCD the audio bit rate must be 224 Kbit/s
Default is : 224
Motion
Search:
Compression speed optimization. Use the following settings to obtain
a balance between rendering speed and noise (or blurring) around
moving objects in the output file.
Normal : Normal(fast)
Good : Good
High : Better quality (slow)
Very High : Best quality (very slow)
Default is : Good
Calculation
mode:
CPU calculation mode.
0 : MMX (works only on Intel MMX processors)
1 : 3DNow (for AMD user)
2 : SSE2 for IntelP4 processor, or AMD 64 bit processor£¨Please Note:
ImTOO DVD Ripper is unable to detect AMD 64 CPU correctly, so AMD
64 users need select this option manually£©
3 : Normal (slow) does not perform an MMX calculation
The default value is detected automatically.
DCT/iDCT:
DCT and iDCT routines.
0 : MMX for MMX processor
1 : SSE2 for IntelP4 processor
2 : FPU (highest quality)
The default value is detected automatically.
Section 1B ¨C VCD-SVCD: Expert settings

Mux Rate:
Increases the multiplexing rate by Mux_Rate% . Use this parameter
to avoid underflow.
As you increase this value, the output file will become slightly
larger.
Default is : for VCD = 1.4, for SVCD = 5.6
VBV buffer size:
Size of the VBV buffer. 20 is recommended for VCD, 112 for SCVD.
Default is : 20
Quant matrix:
The quant matrices that ImTOO DVD Ripper uses to compress video
data are defined in source code. ImTOO DVD Ripper determines which
one will be selected automatically. Options are,
1) default,
2) MPEG standard
Default is: ¡°default¡±
Export:
Video format passed to the premiere plugin (compatible with the
Video Server) and to the AVI codec.
The internal MPEG encoder only uses a 4:2:0 YUV formats; so this
setting is ignored
Default is : RGB24
Pulldown 3:2:
Converts 23.976Hz to 29.97Hz (NTSC Only).
Default is : Unchecked = no conversion
Section 2 ¨C AVI (DivX, YUV, ¡): MPEG specific and Expert settings

Audio drop down box:
You may select one of the following audio options,
1) Disable ¨C no audio is output.
2) Store to WAV ¨C produces uncompressed 16 bit stereo at 44.1 KHz.
3) Use MP3 ¨C produces MP3 audio format. Selecting this option will
enable the adjacent ¡°AUDIO¡± button. Click the ¡°AUDIO¡± button to
select MP3 options for bit rate, quality, channel (stereo or mono),
and settings for the low pass/high pass filter.
4) Use ACM.
NOTE: If you want to export audio as an AC3 file, then select option
1) above (¡°Disable¡± option). Make certain that you have also selected,
¡°Export AC3 stream¡± AND have checked, the ¡°Dolby Surround¡± box in
the ¡°Audio¡± section of the ¡°Input Settings¡± window. ImTOO DVD Ripper
will then output an AVI file and an AC3 file at the same time.
Codec:
From the drop down list box select the codec to use in the output
file.
Multi Pass (¡®Enable Video¡¯ box - ¡®Enable 2 nd¡¯ box):
Allows the audio and video to be read in 2 passes. You can use this
option if you encode with TMPGEnc and use a 2Pass VBR.
UNCHECK this box if you do CBR or a one pass VBR.
When you check a box, then the corresponding ¡°pass 1 settings¡± button
or ¡°pass 2 settings¡± button, will be enabled so that you may choose
options for the currently selected codec. The options presented will
differ depending on the particular codec selected.
Default is : Unchecked
Export (AVI+Premiere):
Video format passed to the Premiere plugin (compatible with the
Video Server) and to the AVI codec.
The YUY2 format is in fact a 4:2:2 YUV format (very good for DivX
encoding) Options for the color spectrum of the output file are,
1) RGB24
2) RGB32
3) YV12
4) YUY2
Section 3 ¨C ¡°Export and Misc¡± settings for ALL OUTPUT modes

Export settings
Resolution:
Output resolution in pixels.
PAL: 352 x 288, NTSC: 352 x 240
Default is : 352 x 240
Video
Resize:
Video resizing filter options are,
Nearest neighbor: Uses the nearest pixel. (No filtering).
BiLinear: very accurate but slow.
BiLinear MMX: very accurate and fast
BiCubic: very accurate bicubic filter but very slow.
BiCubic SSE: SSE implementation of accurate bicubic filter that
works on PIII, or K7, or higher CPU.
Pseudo BiCubic: not accurate but very fast.
Bilinear uses 2x2 pixel region of nearest points to smooth the picture.
BiCubic uses 4x4 pixel region of nearest points to smooth the picture.
TAP filters are 2Pass filters, that give the best quality, but are
slower (Please Note: The TAP filters are the options prefixed with
¡®TAB¡¯).
