Using ProCoder 3 Wizard
Convert a Source
If you choose to convert a source file, the Load Source screen appears. Click the Load
button to choose the video file you want to convert.
The ProCoder 3 Wizard can load a variety of different video file formats for conversion.
If you cannot see the file you want to load but you know it exists, the file may not be a
supported source type. For example, some file types, such as RealMedia files, cannot be
loaded due to licensing restrictions.
If the ProCoder 3 Wizard has problems loading the selected file, please make sure the file
has the proper file extension for its format. For example, an MPEG-1 file that should have
the .mpg file extension may be mislabelled with the .wmv file extension. Windows Media
Player may play the file properly but also display an error message about the file extension
not matching the file type.
Checking the Source
The Source Parameters section of the window shows the selected source’s file
information. You can see a preview of the video and scrub through it on the right side
of the screen.
Changing Source Parameters
If you want to modify the In/Out points or change the cropping parameters, click the
Config Source File Settings option in the bottom left-hand corner and click the Next
button.
