Converting Existing Media
From the application menu: Media Player → Convert Media
Once MagicHD is running, the
Convert Media
action allows you to force it to convert old content.
This means you can prepare media when MagicHD is not running. This is worth while if you are
preparing a lot of content: if MagicHD is running it will keep trying to convert files as you edit their
names and move them around (unless you prepare the files elsewhere).
Note:
everything under MagicQ PC/convert will be converted, regardless of file age or previous
conversion status.
