3 Easy Steps!

Step1 Add source video files.

Click the "Add Task" button on the main window.

Click "All to AVI" on the "Task Window".

Click the "Add File" button to add source files that you want to convert to AVI format. The source file could be VCD, DAT, AVI, DivX, Xvid, WMV, ASF, MOV and MPEG.

The format of VCD/SVCD is DAT. You can find the DAT files in the "MPEGAV" folder.

Step2 Set the output profile.

Select the location where you want the output file to be saved.

Click the "Edit Profile" button. Choose a video codec and an audio codec for the output AVI file (for advanced users). General users could just leave the default value.

Usually you don't need to set width, height and frame rate as the application reads that from your source file. If it does not, check the resolution of the source file and enter the value manually.

Want to change output resolution? Modify width and height in the "Setting" area. Please note that if the source resolution is smaller than output's, the output will have tiny block as it's enlarged. For example, the output resolution is 640x480 while the source resolution is 320x240.

Choose a Video Compression Codec and an Audio Compression Codec of the profile. Set Video width & height and Frame Rate of output file.

How do I convert DAT to XviD/DivX?
DivX/Xvid is one of the AVI codecs. To output DivX format, you must have installed DivX/Xvid codec (click here to download). On the "Settings" window, select a DivX/Xvid Codec from the drop-down list of "Video Compression Codec".

Step3 Click the "Start" button.

This should be the picture you'll get after you have added the task. You can add as many as you want and have then processed all together. Simply click the "Start" button to start conversion.

If you have any trouble converting DAT file, please install an MPEG-2 Decoder. During the installation, make sure you check MPEG-2 Filter box on the step of "Select other filters to install".
