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.
Select
Properties
and go to the
Compression
tab. Click the
Edit
button.
On the
2009 Kbps
tab, adjust the
video
size

Click
OK

to
Apply
your settings on
the Compression tab!
