ProCoder 3
Resolution
Typically refers to the frame size, but can also refer to the density of pixels. 640x480
is generally considered full-screen for computer video players.
Source video
In ProCoder, source video refers to the source video file you are going to convert.
Streaming
The process of simultaneously receiving and viewing video. Streaming video
playback displays video as it is received, with minimal, if any delay before playback
begins. For good streaming video quality, a fast connection to the streaming server is
required.
Streaming Server
A server which stores and delivers streaming content. A streaming server is usually a
special machine running streaming server software that both stores and manages its
viewers. Examples of streaming servers include QuickTime Streaming Server, Real
Server and Windows Media Server.
Super VideoCD
A CD-based video delivery format that uses MPEG-2 compression to provide better-
than-VHS quality video playback and limited interactivity, such as menus and
chapters. Super VideoCDs are popular because they use standard CD media and can
be played in both computers as well as hardware Super VideoCD players and some
DVD players. Super VideoCD is sometimes shortened to SVCD.
Synchronization
Refers to the audio matching the video being displayed. The easiest way to check
synchronization is to make sure the dialog being spoken matches the mouth
movements of the speaker.
Target video
In ProCoder, target video refers to the video file created after you convert your source
file.
VideoCD
A CD-based video delivery format that uses MPEG-1 compression to provide near-
VHS quality video playback and limited interactivity, such as menus and chapters.
VideoCDs are popular because they use standard CD media and can be played in both
computers as well as hardware VideoCD players and some DVD players. VideoCD is
sometimes shortened to VCD.
