Using RSS 2000 Archive Converter
Format conversion
The RSS 2000 Archive Converter can be used to convert the format of video
bit streams in two ways:
Conversion between source code types:
This type of conversion is used only to convert the video format and
bandwidth of a bit stream.
When video is recorded in a high-resolution format or using high bandwidth,
it may not be possible to play the recorded video normally on an ordinary
endpoint. The user may, however, use the bit stream conversion tool to
change the format and bandwidth of the bit stream, and enable it to be
played by other endpoints. The converted bit stream files can only be used by
the RSS 2000. Use the file upload tool—RSS 2000 Upload—to upload the files
back to the RSS 2000. Please see
Using RSS 2000Upload for an overview of the
file upload tool.
Conversion to MP4 format:
Converts to a format that can be directly played on an IPod or by QuickTime.
RSS 2000 Archive Converter is for changing algorithms (H.264 to H.263, etc) but does
not support .asf to .wmv conversion.
