Using avi.NET is simple, select ‘IN’ and load in your movie file, usually a VOB or MPG file. The file will ‘INDEX’ (process will take a couple of minutes) and once completed you’ll notice many options have automatically been set and the movie is playing, you can now select ‘ADD’ to add the job to the batch list.
Once one or more jobs have been added to the job list, the conversion can be started by pressing the ‘START’ button although further options can be selected or amending depending on your needs. The top three options are refering to the encoding mode; you can use SIZE mode, BITRATE mode, or QUALITY mode. SIZE mode is the most common and will convert you movie to a required size. For movie clips, music videos e.t.c select ‘Custom’ and input your required size. BITRATE mode will encode using the bitrate shown. QUALITY mode is a single pass quality based mode which uses the chosen quantiser to obtain a fixed quality throughout the encode. Higher numbers are lower quality and vice versa. The required audio track can also be chosen here. Clicking the ‘No MP3 Conversion – Keep AC3′ will keep the original audio as AC3. Subtitles need to be indexed before they are used which avi.NET will do automatically for you once selected. The ‘Forced’ option will include/display forced subtitles only and ‘Only Make External Subtitles’ will create seperate subtitle files rather than ‘burn’ them into the AVI.
