Advanced Windows Media Movie Conversion

ATTENTION:

For 4.4.x.x series, this feature is embedded in the recordings menu of the Video Browser!


You can permanently

convert your movie to WMV format

in the correct aspect ratio using

Windows Media Encoder

. This tool can be downloaded free of charge from

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmedia/ > For Professionals

Conversion (recompression) of movies leads to a small quality loss and can take some time. On
the other hand, the aspect ratio will always be 4:3 regardless of Windows Media Player settings
and no special M-JPEG or MPEG-4 codecs need to be installed.

The quality of your converted movie will be best if you match the frame rate setting
with the real frame rate of the movie. You can check the frame rate of the original
exported movie in

Windows Media Player

by going to

View > Statistics

and clicking

on the tab

Advanced

.

Select

Convert a file

.

Choose your movie and the output location and file name.
Select

File download (computer playback)

.

Select

.

Fill in the movie’s metadata.
ATTENTION! On the final tab,

uncheck

the box

Begin converting when I click Finish

. We need to

adjust some settings first.

and go to the

tab. Click the

button.

On the

tab, adjust the

your settings on

the Compression tab!
