It should be noted that any further operation is made shall apply to the selection. This is often interesting to do some tests on a piece small video. Before proceeding it should be noted that in all editing operations that we are going to comment must be elected prior to saving the result, the menu option Video Direct Stream Copy. Full processing mode option is when we used to compress or recompress using DivX or Xvid codecs.
