Creating MP4 Files
There are off the shelf software solutions that can convert
various video fi le types to MP4. For the purpose of
demonstration we are demonstrating an open source
program, HandBrake, to create compatible MP4 fi les.
This program can be downloaded from the following web
address:
http://handbrake.fr/
Obtaining HandBrake
1.
Go to http://handbrake.fr and then click the
download button.
***HandBrake is only used as a reference in this
manual. Please note that Flight Display Systems has no
relationship or involvement with HandBrake software or
its contents.
2.
Once at the download page, click on the appropriate
link depending on the operating system.
3.
A new webpage for the download will be opened,
most likely at host sourceforge.net. Once the
program is fi nished downloading, install the program
following all prompts.
4.
Open the program. It should look something similar
to Exhibit 4.
5.
If this is the fi rst time using HandBrake after
installation, fi rst click the Tools tab followed by the
Options menu.
6.
Click the Output Files tab. Flight Display Systems
recommends changing the Default Path to a folder
location that is easily accessible with plenty of hard
drive space. A DVD quality MP4 fi les is between 1
GB and 2 GB. Adequate space is required to create
multiple MP4 fi les.
The most important step in this options menu is
changing the MP4 File Extension Setting to “Always
use MP4”. This is shown in the image below. Once
this is set, click “Close”.
7.
Obtain a DVD and place in a DVD reader drive.
8.
You should now be back at the main menu. Click the
Source drop down button followed by the icon of the
inserted DVD DISK. Once you click the icon of the
inserted DVD, Handbrake will scan the disc which
could take a minute or two.
9.
If a default path is not set as described in step 6
above, a warning will appear and the destination of
the output fi le must be manually selected. Click the
Browse button, navigate to the desired save location/
Hand Brake Home page
