To Convert to a File

You can change the file to be created and the
location to save the file to.
Video Bit Rates: Although a Lower Bit Rate degrades the screen quality, it offers a smaller file size using a
higher compression rate. Alternatively, a High Bit Rate provides a higher screen quality with a larger file size.
Normal is recommended for general use.
Video Size: Determines the screen quality of the converted file.
Example) Converting a 320X240 video file (low resolution) to a 640X480 file (high resolution) degrades the
screen quality when playing the file.
4:3 Ratio: This option keeps the horizontal and vertical ratio of the screen at 4:3.
Transcod Audio Only: This option converts the audio format of the video file. That is, this option converts the
AC3 format to the MP3 format. If you select the Audio option and convert a file, only audio data is converted.
