2.10 Converting Existing Media
• From the MagicQ PC application: menu → Media Player → Convert Media
• From the MagicHD application: menu → Media → Convert Media
Once MagicHD is running, the Convert Media action allows you to force it to convert files already in the convert folder . This
means you can prepare media when MagicHD is not running. This is worth while if you are preparing a lot of content: if
MagicHD is running it will keep trying to convert files as you edit their names and move them around (unless you prepare the
files elsewhere).
Note
Everything under
convert folder will be converted, regardless of file age or previous conversion status.
