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.

=== Freemake Settings ===
[[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!

We recommend using [[FFmpeg]] for encoding/converting your videos. If you prefer using a GUI for converting to mp4, Handbrake is a decent option.
