Screen References - Options ~ Conversions

Files and Formats

From the Files and Formats section, you can specify what happens if you tell Prism to convert a file to the same format it is already in (i.e., from avi to avi).

The options are:

Convert anyway: Select this option if you are changing codec, resolution, or the bitrate of a file during conversion.
Copy file directly to destination folder: Selecting this option will copy the video to the output folder without converting.
Do not convert: Select this option if you do not want duplicate format conversions to take place.

Delete Source file after conversion

Tick this checkbox if you would like Prism to remove the source file after successful conversion.

Delete partially converted temporary files (when canceling conversion)

Tick this checkbox if you would like Prism to delete the temporary output files if the conversion process is canceled.

Truncate audio track at the end of video so that video/audio have same duration

Ticking this checkbox guarantees converted video/audio track will have same length. If you want the whole audio track to be processed instead of being truncated to the end of video, please un-tick it.

Video converted from still image should have a duration of

The number here, in seconds, is the duration that still images will be given when converted to any video format.

Errors

From the Errors section, specify what to do if an error is detected during the conversion process.

The options are:

Ignore error and continue converting other files: Prism will skip over the error and continue converting the selected files.
Abort file conversions: Prism will discontinue converting after all already started conversion finish.

Decoder Options

Use FFMPEG decoder

You can set up Prism to use its own built-in codec instead of DirectShow to decode the file. Sometimes this can help to decode files that can't be properly decoded by DirectShow. If this option is selected, you will be prompted to download the required codec component from the NCH website.

Here are the codes for the most popular languages:

EN - English
ZH - Chinese
ES - Spanish
JP - Japanese
FR - French
DE - German
PT - Portuguese
AR - Arabic
KO - Korean
IT - Italian
