Converting AVI & MPEG Files

When converting, usually uncompressed .AVI video files will take up more memory and are optimal to be converted into compressed .MPG files. The default for PowerVCR II will be .AVI files. Be aware that some .AVI files are already compressed and don't need further conversion.

1.        Press the Converter button.

2.        Open your video file(s).

3.        After opening your file, a dialog box will be displayed. Press Browse.

4.        Type in a new file name or just use "Default."

5.        Press Save. Now, press Next.

6.        Choose a converter profile. Press Finish.

7.        This will be added to the task list. Now you may select this file for conversion by clicking it or continue adding more conversion files.

8.        You may also trim your files to be converted by following steps 2-3 in the Editing Files chapter in the Trimming Clips section.

9.        Now select the file to be converted. Press Convert Selected Item(s) or Convert All Items to convert all the files at once.
