To Convert to a File

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.
