titleHow can I use Metus Ingest as a transcoder

Transcoding

Metus Ingest can also transcode the files in your computer.

    • Add an encoder. (see Adding an Encoder),
    • Select File Source as a video source.



    • A folder browser pops up. Select the file you want to transcode.
    • Select File Source as an audio source. A folder browser pops up again. Select the file you want to add as an audio source.
    • Choose the In and Out point of the file that you want to transcode.


    • Click OK button and close Add New Source window.
    • Now the source is ready. You can choose a desired profile to which you want to transcode to. After choosing the desired profile and output settings, now it is ready for the transcode.

    • Click Start from the Encoder menu in order to start recording


When a video file added as a source file, source parameters show source path , width , height values, frame rate and total duration of file. Also in and out values can be entered here , so video will be transcoded from in point to out point only.

NOTE  In and out values shall not be entered before an audio source added too. Because, if an audio source is added later, application will not adjust its in /out points due to video source and this may cause to audio synchronization disorder. This situation is also true vice versa.

Audio file’s source parameter tab shows source path, channel amount , sample rate, bit rate and total duration of this audio file. And also in and out values can be entered here. These values automatically change according to the in-out values of video file if a video file added before.
