1 Introduction
1.1 Application Use
XFConverter is a gateway solution between non-interoperable video systems. It enables users to wrap, unwrap and
convert a wide range of video and audio wrapper formats (AVI, GXF, MOV and MXF). XFConverter does not
transcode media during the conversion process, ensuring that no information is lost. The conversions can be automated
with the watch folder module, creating a seamless workflow in your networked environment.
1.2 Hardware Requirements
The minimum hardware requirements are:
-
Intel Core 2 duo 2.2 GHz,
- 2 GB RAM.
The recommended hardware requirements are:
-
Intel Core i5 2GHz,
- 4 GB RAM.
1.3 Supported Operating Systems
XFConverter runs under Microsoft Windows operating systems starting with Windows XP. XFConverter is a
32-bit application which can be installed on both a 32-bit and 64-bit OS. It can be executed without administrative
rights.
To use the XFConverter Quicktime plug-in, the Quicktime Player from Apple must be installed on the computer.
1.4 XFConverter Installation
If you received a CD version of XFConverter, browse down to the “XFConverter-Setup.exe” program in the
Windows directory. During the installation procedure, your antivirus software may warn you about the execution of
Windows scripts. You may safely ignore these warnings.
XFConverter is a plug-in based application. Each plug-in requires a special license file in order to be activated.
Temporary license keys for evaluation purposes are available from the OpenCube Technologies website
(
http://www.opencubetech.com ). After you create an account, you are given access to a download area where you can
retrieve a one-month license key file. If you purchased XFConverter, you will have received a permanent license key
file (*.lcs). The first time you launch the program, XFConverter will open the About dialog box so that you can load
your license file.
