Converting various Video Formats to MPEG-2
There are many different video formats available. If the video clip you want to play back with
ArtistaMEDIA is not available in MPEG-2 you have to convert it to the supported format, before you
can use it with ArtistaMEDIA.
This section describes how video formats can be converted to MPEG-2 using TMPGEnc.
The following steps have to be performed:
Open the file with “Source -> Add file” and click “OK” after reviewing the clip settings
Select “Format”
The “Output format selection” dialog appears. Here the correct output settings have to be
selected for ArtistaMEDIA. We created templates for TMPGEnc which should help you to
load the correct settings. The following templates are available and can obtained from your
sales contact at DATA DISPLAY:
o
ntsc_720x480_p_4_3.txp4e
[email protected] fps, progressive, 4:3 format
o
ntsc_720x480_p_16_9.txp4e [email protected] fps, progressive, 16:9 format
o
pal_720x576_p_4_3.txp4e
720x576@25 fps, progressive, 4:3 format
o
pal_720x576_p_16_9.txp4e
720x576@25 fps, progressive, 16:9 format
Select “Browse…” and load the template that is suitable to your ArtistaMEDIA installation.
Select “Encode”, define an output file name and select the “Start encode” button. The
resulting output file has the extension *.mpg and is a MPEG Program Stream. This file has to
be converted to AVI before it can be played back on ArtistaMEDIA. A description of this
process can be found in the next section “
Converting MPEG to AVI Files
”.
