Using the Transcode Utility
If you have MPEG encoders or decoders in your Profile disk recorder, you may
have media recorded in motion JPEG compression format that you want to
convert to MPEG. The Transcode Utility is a tool that makes format
conversions easy. The Transcode Utility converts media files—clips and
masters—in four ways:
• From JPEG to JPEG using a different video quality
• From JPEG to MPEG
• From MPEG to MPEG using a different video quality
• From MPEG to JPEG
NOTE: Converting a low-quality video clip to a higher quality (higher bit
rate) will not improve the video quality of the clip, though it will consume
more disk space.
The Transcode Utility is started from the Tools menu in Media Manager.
