Target playback drive specifies the data rate which matches the speed of the device your file is intended to be played back from. For example, if you plan on playing the file back from a CD-ROM select the appropriate data rate, such as 300 KB for a double speed CD-ROM. If you specify a fixed data rate Video Editor will not exceed that when creating the video file. If the actual rate exceeds the defined rate the render is paused and a warning is displayed. You can continue with the render, but frames may be dropped. For general purposes select the Custom option to have Video Editor create the video file while ignoring the data rate. Check data rate displays the predefined data rate selected in the Target playback drive combo box. Set the Tolerance level to give you a margin of acceptable variation.

If your audio track is background music, then set this to equal your frame rate. If it is a `talking head' shot or you are distributing the video over the Internet or on CD-ROM, then set this value to 1 as it is more important to maintain synchronicity between the audio and video tracks. Pad frames for CD-ROM ensures that data is more efficiently stored for optimum CD-ROM playback. You should select this option whenever your files are intended for CD-ROM output. 196 MEDIASTUDIO PRO USER GUIDE VIDEO SAVE OPTIONS: COMPRESSION TAB 1 2 3 4 5 6 1.
