General Tab	These settings affect the basic operations of ACDSee Video Converter.
	Application Behavior
		Automatically check for updates.	ACDSee Video Converter will automatically ensure that you are running the latest version.
		On exit, prompt if still executing.	ACDSee Video Converter will warn you if you are trying to close the application while an action is still being performed, such as burning a DVD or converting a video.

Conversion Tab	This tab includes options for converting your videos.
	Video Aspect Ratio	Aspect ratio is the ratio of the width of the video to its height.
		Keep input video aspect ratio.	When trying to convert a file with an inconsistent input video and output video size, ACDSee Video Converter will maintain the aspect ratio of the video zoom. In other words, the picture will not be stretched or cropped.
