4.5 MPEG Encoder
4.5.1 Interface Explanation
The default page is composed of four parts:
Header Buttons
Add input files; Delete files; Edit options; Start and Stop transcoding.
Batch Process Display Window
Displays file name, encoding status, screen size and play time of files to be
transcoded.
Progress Display Window
Displays formatting information about the file being transcoded.
Preview Display Window
Displays the video of the file being transcoded.
4.5.2 Practice Streaming Video Translation
MPEG Encoder transcodes
multimedia files among video
formats. For using MPEG
Encoder, they must be able to
be played with Windows Media
Player. File formats that can be
transcoded are: AVI, DV-AVI,
MPEG-1, MPEG-2, ASF, WMV,
DivX, and DAT.
To add a multimedia file to be transcoded, click on the “+” or “Add”. This will
open the “Browse” dialog box. Browse to the directory/file wanted and click
on “Open” . (Another method of adding files to the Batch Process Display
Window is to simply highlight a file, then drag and drop it into the Batch
Process Display Window.)
4-23
Chapter 4
Once the multimedia file is added to the Batch
Process Display Window, the Option Dialog
Box appears. This begins the process of
selecting the output format for the
transcoder. Choose among four categories
of formats: MPEG-1, MPEG-2; Category tabs
appear at the top of the window. After
selecting a format category, choose a
specific video format (and detailed options if
necessary).
The output file will be created in the same
directory as the original file unless a different
path is manually chosen. It will also maintain
the original video file name and add a file
extension matching the video format of the
output type selected. The file name can also
be manually changed.
Once the output video format and options are selected, click “OK” and the file
will appear in the Batch Process Display Window.
The Batch Process Display Window shows three states of process in the
Status column.
1. Waiting: The media file displayed is queued for transcoding (compression
and/or translation). The transcoding of video files in the “Waiting” state
begins when the Encoding is clicked.
2. Exclusion: Transcoding of that file will not occur.
3. Done: The transcoding (compression and/or translation) is successfully
completed.
To change a file’s status between Waiting and Exclusion (and vice versa),
double click on the file line. The Waiting state will change to an Exclusion state
and be reported as “Skip”. Similarly, a file with a “Skip” status when double-
clicked, will change to “Waiting”.
4-24
Software Installation
During Transcoding, the Status
column changes to display the
percent of progress
accomplished. Also, once the
transcoding process has
begun, the (right arrow)
Encoding button changes to a
Stop button. If the Stop button
is clicked-on during
transcoding, the process will
stop. Once the transcoding process completes successfully, the status will
change to Done. To transcode the same file again - for example, with an option
change - double click on the file in the Batch Process Display Window and the
Status will change to Waiting. To change the options again, highlight the file
with a single mouse click and then click on the “Option” or “Edit” button to
execute the Option Selection Dialog box.
To view the transcoded output video file, highlight the video file and click-on
the Output Play button.
