6.2 Practice Streaming Video File Format Conversion
MPEG Encoder 5.0 transcodes multimedia files between
video formats. For multimedia files to be transcoded using
Encoder 5.0, they must be playable under Windows Media
Player. File formats that can be transcoded are: AVI,
DV-AVI, MPEG 1, MPEG 2, ASF, WMV, DivX, and
DAT.
Fig. 6.2
Page 23
-23-
Fig. 6.3
To add a multimedia file to be transcoded, click the "+" or "Add" button. 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.) Refer to Fig. 6.3
Once the multimedia file is added to the “Batch Process Display Window,” the Option Selection Dialog Box
appears. This begins the process of selecting the output format for the transcoder to create. 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). Please refer to
Fig. 6.2
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. Refer to Fig. 6.4
Fig. 6.4
Once the output video format and options are selected, click "OK", then the file will appear in the Batch Process Display Window. Refer to Fig. 6.5
Fig. 6.5
The Batch Process Display Window shows three states of process in the Status column.
1. “Waiting” means that 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 button is clicked.
2. “Exclusion” means that transcoding of that file will not occur.
3. “Done” means that the transcoding (compression and/or translation) is successfully completed.
Page 24
-24-
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."
Fig. 6.5 shows the status Exclusion that changed status of previously added at above by double clicking with
mouse.
Although you push Encoding button in this status, it will not execute compression and translation process.
Change the status to “Waiting” by double clicking the mouse and click the “Encoding” button to execute the
conversion process.
Fig. 6.6
During Transcoding, the Status column changes to display the percentage 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, double-click on the file in the Batch Process Display Window and the Status
will change to Waiting. To change the option 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.
