    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q: I want to change some settings for my convertion. Where can I found them?
    A: All the settings of the software can be found in the right panel of the main window. After you highlight the file you load and select the output format, the adjustable settings will be active, such as the "Frame Rate", "Sample Rate", "Video/Audio Quality" and so on.
    Q: It is said that your software can detect and show the basic information of the file after it is loaded. Where can I find it?
    A: Load your file and highlight it, and then select "View->Show File Informaton". The basic information of the file, such as "Video Codec", "Frame Rate" and so on, will be shown in "File Information" dialog.
    Q:My output file is out of sync. How to solve it?
    A:Please lower down the video quality to have a try. It can be found on the right panel of the main window. You also can solve it by adjusting the frame rate.
    Q: Why do some of my AVI files can not be converted to MPEG1/2/4 and just get "Fail" information? And also, some MOV files from digital camera have the same problem.
    A: AVI/MOV files might be created with lots of different video codec. AVI/MOV files with mjpeg codec have the problem above mentioned. You need to change settings to make the software work. You'd better set"frame rate" as 29.97, "Sample Rate" as "44100" to have a try. If your file is in MOV format, you need to select "2(Stereo)" for "Audio Channel" so that you can play the output file smoothly.
    Q: I just want to make a clip of the conversion. How can I set it?
    A:You need to set the "Start Time" and "Duration" of the conversion by entering the starting time like "00:00:00" and setting the duration, the duration sould be counted by second. For example, if you want to convert clip of 1 minute and 20 seconds, you should enter "80s" in the "Duration".
    Q: I always get "Fail" while I try to decode video files to some audio formats such as mp3 . How can I get a successful conversion?
    A:You'd better adjust "Sample Rate" to "44100" to have a try. You can find it on the right panel of the main window, it is a drop-down list.
