| − | Neurobs Presentation does not support the .mp4 container, so you will have to convert your H.264 encoded .mp4 videos to the .avi container. Neurobs recommends using MP4Cam2AVI Easy Converter<ref>http://www.neurobs.com/wiki/Presentation/Video#Video_Encoding</ref>. Be sure to uncheck 'preview On' before opening your files, because the program might crash otherwise. <!-- Alternatively, if your videos are under 5 minutes, you can use Freemake instead. Both programs can be downloaded via the links below. | + | Neurobs Presentation does not support the .mp4 container, so you will have to convert your H.264 encoded .mp4 videos to the .avi container.

| |
| − | The following settings have been tested to work with Neurobs Presentation, but your mileage may vary.
| |
| − | # Load your video(s) into Freemake
| |
| − | # Click on the ''to AVI'' button
| |
| − | # Under ''Preset'', select '''Custom''' and click the ''Add your preset'' icon below
| |
| − | #* Set ''Video codec'' to '''H.264'''
| |
| − | #* Set ''Frame size'' and ''Frame rate'' to '''Original'''
| |
| − | #* Set ''Bitrate type'' to '''Custom''' and enter the target [[Video_Codecs#Bitrate|bitrate]]. Though in most cases, leaving it on '''Auto''' is fine too.
| |
| − | #* If your video contains audio, check the ''Audio'' checkbox
| |
| − | #* Set ''Audio codec'' to '''PCM'''
| |
| − | #* Set ''Channels'' to '''Stereo''', unless you know what you're doing
| |
| − | #* Set ''Sample rate'' to '''44100 Hz''', unless you know what you're doing
| |
| − | #* Set ''Sample size'' to '''16 bit''', unless you know what you're doing
| |
| − | #* Name your preset so you can find it again for video conversions. Note that different videos may require different bitrates, so don't blindly apply this profile to all videos.
| |
| − | # Set the path to which you want to save your converted video under ''Save to''.
| |
| − | # For a more optimal compression, change ''One-pass encoding (high speed)'' to '''Two-pass encoding (low speed)'''. Like the names suggest, two-pass encoding takes a bit longer.
| |
| − | # Click the ''Convert'' button to start converting your videos!
| |
| − | # ????
