Importing, Exporting, & Resetting Profiles
Under the Profiles menu of the Encoder, Decoder, and Transcoder sections, you will find an
Import menu item, an Export menu item, and a Default menu item. These operations provide a
quick and easy means for transferring the configuration of one QVidium H.264 HD Video
Codec™
to another H.264 HD Video
Codec™ or for resetting the configuration settings to a known state.
To export a profile, from the Web browser interface, highlight the desired profile using a single
click, then click on Export to open a panel that allows you to specify the name of a file to store
configuration information. To configure another codec with the same parameters, just point the
browser to the second Codec that you want to configure. You can then click on Import to
automatically create a new profile that configures that second codec, specifying the file you had
just used to save the configuration of the first codec.
Default will reset the configuration settings for the selected profile in the Encoder, Decoder, or
Transcoder, depending upon which Profile menu you select, to their factory default settings. This
will allow you to reset the configuration settings to a known good state. Clicking on Default will
bring up a confirmation dialog box to prevent accidental resetting of the configuration. Default can
be helpful if you have trouble getting the encoder to work properly or cannot remember the correct
settings, you can click on Default to restore the encoder configuration with the factory default
profile.
You may find it useful to use a USB flash memory stick to store these configuration profiles. All
configurations a stored as Unix text files. If you have a text editor such as Notepad++, which has a
Unix editing mode, you have the option of editing an encoder configuration profile manually. All
parameters are stored in the form of multiple lines of Paramer=Value<LF>.
