- | Audio and video encoders are listed in a "format (encoder)" form, where format is the specification, standard, while encoder is the particular software library, implementation, that encodes the stream to the chosen format. For example, "MPEG-4 ASP (Xvid4)" means the output video format is set to MPEG-4 ASP and the chosen software library used for encoding the MPEG-4 ASP video is Xvid. "MP3 (LAME)" means the output audio format is set to MP3 and LAME is the MP3 encoder. | + | Audio and video encoders are listed in a "format (encoder)" form, where format is the specification, standard, while encoder is the particular software library, implementation, that encodes the stream to the chosen format.

The "Format" menu is mainly used for setting the output container. A container contains audio and video streams multiplexed into a single file. It is important to select a suitable container format for the audio and video stream types selected in the Audio and Video menus. For example, MPEG-2 (DVD, SVCD) or MPEG-1 (VCD) video should not be saved into an AVI container.
