7 THE PRO-CODEC MANAGER APPLICATION
7 ThePro-CodecManagerApplication
The Pro-Codec Toolbox Manager is a standalone application primarily intended for
encoding files using the latest codec technology from Fraunhofer IIS. In addition, the
Manager provides the ability to decode files, and features a metadata editor for adding
metadata to your encoded files.
The user interface of the Manager is separated into five main sections:
1. The
FolderBrowser is used to navigate folders on your file system containing
supported media. Selecting a folder containing files supported by the manager will
load them into the File List. The selected folder is denoted by an orange highlight.
2. To the right of the Folder Browser is the
FileList. It provides a detailed view of all
supported files in the folder currently selected by the Folder Browser.
3. Below the File List is the
Encode/DecodeSection. This is where settings pertaining to
encoding and decoding can be adjusted, as well as output file name and location
options.
4. The
AuditionSection is situated at the bottom of the window. It contains controls for
playing back audio files selected for audition in the File List.
5. Occupying the top right hand area of the screen is the
MetadataEditor. If a supported
M4A or MP3 file is selected, any metadata it contains can be examined, edited, and
written back to the file. If a WAV or AIFF file is selected, the section is used to edit the
metadata that will be written when this file is encoded.
