VIDEO CONVERSION

If your video les will not play on your Eclipse by JLab player,

you can convert them using the conversion tool which is

included with the device. To do so, you will need to rst install

the software.

When you connect the player to your computer, it will act as a
removable disk drive. Open the drive, as described in the Copy
and Paste section of the manual. Inside, there is a folder called
Tools & Manual. Open this folder, and then the Tools folder.

Inside is a Setup.exe application. Run this le and follow the

onscreen instructions. Please note that depending on your OS
version and security settings you may need to right click on the

le and select Run as Administrator.

Once installed, you will have an item called Media Player

Utilities in your programs list. Select this item and then Video
Converter, or AVI Converter.

31

Once the conversion tool is open, the rst step in actually
converting and loading the le is to select the le you wish to

convert. Locate the Input File line towards the top of the

window, and select the Add le button and use the le
selection window to select the le you want to convert and

load. The second step is to select the location you want the

converted le saved to. Locate the Output File line immediately
below the Input File line and select the Video Path button

and use the browse for folder window to select the save
location. As this conversion tool is already calibrated to convert

your les for optimal quality, you simply need to select the
Begin button and the player will convert the le for you.

Please note that if the player is connected to your computer
when you open this tool, you will see an additional window to
the right of the main window. This is the media player window.

Please note that the window will display the drive letter
assigned to your player. If you have multiple players
connected, it will have an option for each drive. Below the
drive letter is a pie chart showing the amount of storage space
available and the amount used. There is also a check box

giving you the option to automatically copy the video le to

your drive. Selecting this will save you a step in loading your

video les, as the converter will save a copy of the converted
le to your computer, and then automatically load it on to the

player as well!

Once the le has nished converting and loading on to your

player, follow the Safely Remove Hardware instructions
outlined above, and enjoy your video.

32

If you receive an error when attempting to convert a video

le, then you likely lack the proper video codecs on your

computer. There are several large codec packs which will
contain the majority of the common video codecs, such as
the K-Lite Mega codec pack, and the Storm codec pack. We
recommend downloading them from a trusted source and

installing them and attempting to convert the les then.
