Function Setting
Button Resolution Source File Target File Path Target File Name Quality Description The target video widthheight is 220pixel176pixel The path to source video file The path to target video file target video file name, there an avi affix added to the end of it Three quality selecting, including High Quality, Normal and High Compression. High Quality indicates that the source file is transcoded with higher A/V bitrate, meanwhile the result file has bigger file size and better image quality. Normal indicates that the source file is transcoded with normal A/V bitrate, meanwhile the result file has normal image quality. High Compression, just as its name implies, indicates the file is transcoded with minimal A/V bitrate ,so the target file size is minimal , but the quality may decline more. The ratio of video width to video height (unit: pixel)

Aspect Ratio

Conversion Limit

Generally, the aspect ratio of most of America film is(or close to) 16:9 . On the other side, TV programs in Europe usually has 4:3 aspect ratio. The aspect ratio of most MTV and sport game are also 4:3 . Adopting 16:9 compression, there may be no distortion when watching movies on portable media player, but the available area may decrease. When watching some TV programs like MTV and so on, we advise adopting 4:3 compression to keep video no distortion by the greatest extent.

After setting all the parameters, then go to start convert. hit stop convertit will hint you whether or not to stop conversion, converter is still working now. YES will stop conversion immediately. Close the software. Some useful information

Example
The LCD resolution of one portable media player is 220176, we need convert a MTV(format: mpg, resolution : 320240) to target avi file.

Operation step:
1. Hit the Addand the Conversion Setting dialog box is popped up.

2. Choose source file, select the MTV which is to be converted.

3 After selection, choose the target file path to the output file (for example: here choose disk D for saving target file).

4The target file name is Experience.avi (you can also modify it). 5 Select conversion quality as you like, here we choose normal. For the aspect ratio of source file is 4:3, we choose 4:3 here. 6. If you prefer to converting part of source file, selecting conversion range.

6 All parameters setting is ok, and then go to Save, if there exists another source file, repeat the above-mentioned, as following:

8 When conversion progression reaches to 100%, it will hint conversion completion, which indicates that video conversion is successful.

FAQ
Q: Can I play the transcoded video on PC? A: Ya~, I am sure that you can play it with WMP or Realplayer if you had installed FFDshow, the MPEG-4 supported package, on your PC. The powerful MPlayer or StormCodec also can be used to play the transcoded file because they have binded the MPEG-4 supported package together. Q: Why I can not delete the transcoded file on PC (The OS is Windows XP)? A: The more detailed information is refferred in such URL: http://www.virtualdub.org/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=89 In a word, you can uninstall shmedia.dll (regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll) to avoid the Windowss bug.
