Default Recording Options

These options allow you to specify whether audio or video will be recorded by default when new notes are created. You can always still change this on each document individually.

Audio Settings

These settings control how audio and video are recorded by Pear Note:

- Audio quality - this adjusts the amount of compression of the audio. Note that increasing the audio quality will make your file sizes bigger. Voice quality is often sufficient for most users.
- Audio device - the device to use for recording audio, such as a microphone.
- Video quality - the resolution to use for recording video. Note that video uses a lot of disk space, especially at larger resolutions. That said, most users can tell a huge difference between the quality levels.
- Video device - the device to use for recording video, such as an iSight.
- Flip video - some people use mirrors to allow a built-in iSight to look the other way. A side effect of these mirrors is that video appears upside down. Check this box to have Pear Note flip it back right side up.
