# VideoProfile

The profile to use for encoding video. The profile specifies the video codec, video bitrate, and so on.

Set this parameter to one of the following values:

- `mpeg4video_h264_nvenc_hd` (This profile enables GPU acceleration. There are several requirements that must be met to use a GPU. For more information about using a GPU with Media Server, refer to the Media Server Administration Guide).
- `mpeg4video_h264_hd`
- `mpeg4video_h264_720p`
- `mpeg4video_h264_360p`
- `mpeg4video_h264_sd`
- `mpeg2video`
- `mpeg2video_broadcast`

The MPEG4 profiles use the H264 codec for encoding video and are suitable for playback over the web, for example if your users view video using the Micro Focus MMAP Media Player or the native player of a web browser that supports H264. Micro Focus recommends using the MPEG4 profiles in most cases, but you can use the MPEG2 profiles if you need to support a media player that cannot decode H264.

For more information about these profiles, see Encoding Profiles.
