iPod for Film (1.85x1)
- Creates 640x336 1:1 frame rate (i.e., 24fps or 23.98fps) AVC/H.264 Base Profile MPEG-4 output for iPod/iPhone—but also compatible with QuickTime 7 or higher, Adobe Flash Player 10 (or 9.0.115 or higher), or Microsoft Silverlight 2 or higher. Uses Apple H.264 video codec and datarates below 1.5mbps to ensure compatibility with iPod and iPhone device. Optimized for Progressive Streaming. Subject matter of source video can be complex and active (i.e., action movie trailer). Source file should be either 1.85:1 aspect (35mm widescreen), or if source file is 16:9 (1.78:1) aspect with letterbox bars, then apply a Crop filter constrained to 1.85:1 aspect to remove letterbox bars. Do not use a Deinterlace filter for 24p or film-based content. If source is 1080i/29.97fps or 480i/29.97fps NTSC capture from 24fps film source, apply an Inverse Telecine filter restore intended 24p frame rate. Ideal for high quality iPod/iPhone mobile device presentation of theatrical content made on film or digital cinema system like RED, Panavision Genesis, Viper, Sony CineAlta, Panasonic Varicam, etc. To cause output files to associate with iTunes, change output filename extension from .mp4 to .m4v.

iPod Screen Capture Small 640x360 (16x9)
- Creates 640x360 4fps AVC/H.264 Base Profile MPEG-4 output for QuickTime 7 or higher, iPod/iPhone, Adobe Flash Player 10 (or 9.0.115 or higher), or Microsoft Silverlight 2 or higher. Creates extremely small file sizes (relative to standard video at similar resolution) by taking advantage of lower frame rates and higher compression efficiency for comparatively static imagery common with screen capture content. Subject matter presumed to be computer screen capture (application demos, etc.) at 16:9 aspect ratio (i.e., 1920x1080, 1280x720) created with a screen capture application such as Camtasia Studio, Snapz Pro, ScreenFlow, iShowU, or Screenflick. Source file should be 640x360 or higher. Not suitable for standard video or high-motion screen capture content. Ideal for computer application demos and/or training for typical office applications, web browsing, etc. For optimal results, capture source file at a frame rate evenly divisible by 4, such as 8, 12, or 24fps; and record at the lowest screen resolution appropriate for your content (i.e., 1280x720 instead of 1920x1080). This will result in a less severe reduction in size from the original and will preserve small details better. Audio settings optimized for speech; use of an Audio Volume filter set to Normalize Level 90 recommended. Use of other videos filters NOT recommended with screen capture content.
