Easy as pie. For best results do this :
- Open up an editing program such as Premiere, FCP, Vegas, etc. Import your WMV, and then export it as a 720x480 DV clip (standard Microsoft DV). This will give you an AVI file. It would also be a good time to watermark your video
(This step is optional, but I recommend it so as to not lose much quality)
- Open up Videocharge and click on COMMANDS, then WIZARD (or press F6)
- In the list that appears, select : Create VIDEO gallery (its in the middle of all the options) and then click on NEXT
- Click on ADD FILES and go find your avi file or wmv file. Click on NEXT
- Then select SPLIT BY TIME. Underneath write down the length you want your clips to be (in this case, its 15 seconds) . Then select SECONDS in the right flipdown menu. You can also uncheck the box at the bottom if you don`t want to lose your last clip. Click on NEXT
- In FOLDER : choose the filepath you want your NEW videos to appear. Your wmvs will be created in that folder. In the File Name Pattern field, write down how you want your files to be named... click on the option to the right to find out your choices. Then click NEXT
- In the OUTPUT format option, select WMV in this case because we want to our new clips to be WMVs. Click NEXT
- For this step, I recommend you select CUSTOM SETTINGS. Choose Windows Media Video 9 (thats the setting I usually use by default). Then click on CBR (Constant Bit Rate is usually better for web video). And select a bitrate (you'll have to play around with this to figure out what you want. Just keep in mind : Higher bitrates = Higher quality video = bigger file sizes). Your Frame Rate should be 29.97 NTSC. Click NEXT
- If you want audio, click on the top box. Select WMV 9 for your audio codec. I recommend an audio format of 44100 khz or so, but that all depends on your original file (if its 32khz, then encode at 32khz)... if you don't really know what I'm talking about, don't worry and go with 44100. Click Next
- If you're using an AVI, your frame size is 720x480.. so you might want to consider resizing your vid. If so, click on RESIZE video and select the frame size you want. Then select STRETCH in the menu underneath and NEAREST NEIGHBOUR for the MODE. Everything after that I don't think you should bother with it.
- And well the last window is for your thumbs if you want any. The screen itself is pretty self explanatory.
If you're still having problems after doing all of this, then I recommend you contact Videocharge support or post on their forums.
