*ConverterOutputSettings()

Specifies settings for an external converter.

Syntax

*ConverterOutputSettings (out_dir, use_exist, jpgs_flag)

Application

HyperView, MediaView

Inputs

out_dir
The output directory name.
use_exist
1
Previous conversion results should be used first; otherwise 0.
jpgs_flag
0
Deletes any JPEG files created during the conversion process.

Keeps the JPEG files created during the conversion process.

Context

*BeginDefaults()

*BeginVideoDefaults()

*BeginVideoDefaults()
    *ConverterOutputSettings(“C:/output_dir”, 1, 0)

Comments

You may choose to remove the *ExternalConverter() statement from the preferences file and use *ExternalDecoder() and *ExternalEncoder() instead. In that case, the conversion process produces a series of JPEG images. These are the images that can be kept or deleted based on the jpgs_flag argument (see above).
