ah, I missed that. That is a good cutoff, I think. The free version doesn't appear to support GPU-accelerated h.264 encoding, though, which is a pretty big loss.

The free version uses the h.264 codec of the OS, which limits decoding speed and encoding quality on Windows. OTOH exporting to an intermediate codec and then using x264 or a similar best-of-the-breed encoder is probably preferable anyway, from a quality PoV.
