If you want to preserve metadata (such as embedded data from other applications, regions, markers, disc-at-once CD tracks,

Note:
If the file type selected in the Save as type drop-down list doesn’t support metadata, you are prompted to save the metadata in
an external file with an .sfl extension (using the same name as your media file). Metadata can be saved internally for the following file
formats: MP3, Windows Media Format (WMA and WMV), WAV, WAV64, SFA, PCA, and Scott Studios.

frame to preserve the aspect ratio. For more information, see Saving a video file on page 278.
