About the Supplied Application Software
Using MPEG1 Coder (MPEG1 compression software)
MPEG1 Coder
This software allows you to compress, in real time, full-motion video shot with a video camera and other data
into the MPEG1 format, and record it to a DVD-RAM disc or PD cartridge.
With a single 2.6 GB DVD-RAM disc, you can record approximately 2 hours of MPEG1 video in standard mode
(with a video data rate of 2.0 Mbps and an image size of 320
x
240).
It can also play video recorded in the Windows standard Active Movie (software decoder) format.
Note;
• A sample MPEG1 file is stored in the “Sample" folder in the root directory of supplied CD-ROM disc.
This sample data can be used with MPEG1 Coder.

Note:
• Because MPEG1 Coder uses software to compress image data, some computers may not have
sufficient performance for data compression (e.g., software processing may take a long time).
