7.8.7  Converting a recorded file into AVI format

To play a recorded file, you need a remote control device that provides the controller. Therefore, the recorded files can be played only in an environment where the controller is installed. However, by converting a recorded file into an AVI file, you can play the recorded information on a computer without the controller installed.

In addition, after converting a recorded file into an AVI file, you can use other applications to edit the file, such as adding a title or comments. However, note that if you changed the computer resolution during the recording, the recorded file cannot be correctly played back even if it has been converted into an AVI file.

Use the conversion wizard to convert a recorded file into an AVI file. The following describes how to use the conversion wizard to convert a recorded file into an AVI file.

To convert a recorded file into the AVI format:

  1. From the menu of the Remote Controller window, select File, Play Screen, and then Convert.

    The conversion wizard starts.

  2. Select the recorded file that you want to convert, and then click the Next button.

  3. Specify the AVI file into which the file is converted, and then click the Next button.

  4. Select the compression format that you want to use to convert into an AVI file, and then click the Next button.

  5. Specify the frame rate and image quality, and then click the Next button.

  6. The conversion starts, and the conversion progress is displayed.

  7. After the conversion is completed, click the Complete or Play button.

The conversion wizard is closed.

If you click the Play button, the application that is associated with the AVI file starts, and the conversion wizard is closed. The default settings in Windows are used to start Windows Media Player.
