− | 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.

| + | [[File:Freemake_presentation_settings.png|thumb|300px|Acceptable Freemake settings for Neurobs Presentation.]] |
| + | 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! |
| + | # ???? |
