Why do I need to adjust the video quality settings?

When you adjust video quality settings, you will reduce the file size (by converting the video to a more optimal format), expand the memory but keep the video quality at an acceptable level. However, you need to remember that Format Factory can not upgrade the video or audio quality compared to the original file, it can only be maintained or reduced. The video you shoot is the best. You can convert the file to a new format and keep the same quality as the original file with Format Factory.

The meaning of the numbers

When processing video, you need to understand a few basic standards to know how they will affect the quality of the output. Video quality is measured by resolution. Screen resolution is the number of pixels (pixels) on the screen to create the image. The higher the resolution means the more pixels and then the picture or video will be of good quality, sharp and vivid. Low resolution corresponds to a low number of pixels per square inch, which results in poor image quality. That's why you can't use file conversion tools to upgrade video or image quality. The number of pixels is fixed in the original file. You can only maintain the same number of pixels or reduce them when processing files.

The type of TV we usually use, not HD TV, will have a resolution of 320x240. That means there are 320 pixels wide and 240 pixels from top to bottom (height). Most DVDs sold outside the US have a resolution of 720x480 while HD TV is 1920x1080.

You can completely reduce the size of AVI file (one of the formats that Format Factory supports) to 320x240. Then there will be a clear difference between the 320x240 video and the DVD you buy.

Thus, when using Format Factory, you not only convert the video format but also need to care about the output video quality. Format Factory allows customizing these parameters to get the right video format and consistent quality. Wish you have fun watching movies with Format Factory!
