24 Spectare 7 in 1 Media Recorder / Player

This section is a quick tutorial on how to convert MPG, AVI, VCD, and
JPG files into MPEG-4 specific AVI / JPG format for playback on your 7 in 1
Player device. Please refer to the complete tutorial in the installation CD
included with the player.

There are many types of digital video and image files and formats such
as MPEG-2, MPEG-4, JPEG, DivX, XviD, AVI, MPG etc. The MPEG-4
format has been developed by MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group. This
group also developed MPEG-2 which is the standard for DVD movies.
Within the MPEG-4 format there are several CODECs (enCOder and
DECoder) which are software or hardware schemes to compress and
decompress media files such as text, picture, music, audio and video.
Currently, there are many CODECs such as DivX and XviD that meet the
MPEG-4 standard.

AVI is not a video format or a CODEC. You could imagine this as a
wrapper format or a container to hold the audio and video to play as one file.

You may wish to play other digital media files that are acquired from
other cameras, discs or files from the Internet on your 7 in 1 Player.
However, there are some certain “variations” between these media files
even when the extension name (*.avi or .jpg) is the same. Because there
are so many different video formats, codecs and wrapper formats it is very
possible these video sources may not play on this 7 in 1 Media Player
device directly.

To solve this problem we have provided translation software application
to change the video file into a specific file format (*.avi) that can be read and
played by this device. The following pages will explain how to use the
conversion tools to translate media files into AVI, MP3, WAV or JPEG
format. The file converter only supports certain file formats (Please see File
Converter Supported File Types on page 26).

File Conversion Overview

25

user's guide

Files that can be converted directly:

Some video formats will only require a one step conversion, like MPG, AVI,
and JPEG. These file types can be converted directly using the DV/DVP series
File Converter for playback on the 7 in 1 player device.

Files that require a two step conversion process:

Some video formats will require a two step process, for example VCD.
Another conversion software application is needed to convert the VCD into MPG
format. This software is not provided or supported with this player, however,
there are many translation software applications available on the internet. Please
use caution when using an application from an unknown source. Once files are
converted into an MPG format they can be translated into AVI files by using the
File Converter application that is provided (see File Converter Usage on page

26). After conversion you can play the video files (*.avi) on the device.
