- If you press "Play AVI", a window with the AVI Video Player will appear.
There are three choices: "Play", "Stop" and "Clean Screen". If you press
"Play", a small window will be superimposed to allow you to select
a desired AVI file in the directory where it is part of. Press "Open" and
the desired video will start playing. For full screen, just double click the
left button of the mouse. You can go back to the AVI Video Player screen by
right-clicking on the full screen video and selecting "Exit Fullscreen". If
you press "Stop", the video will stop playing. If you press "Clear Screen",
you will go back to the VideoLab window.
- If you press "Compress AVI", you follow the procedure above to select a
desired AVI file. Then you press "Open" and another small window will appear
with your directory structure, so that you can select where the compressed
file will be stored with the same name as the AVI file but with the
extension ".dat". Press "OK" and the compression will start. This should
take no more than the normal duration of the AVI file playback.
When the
video compression is completed, a message will appear indicating it. Press
"OK" and the VideoLab Player window will appear to give you the
choice to see the result of the compression and its decompression and
playback or to go on to something else. If you choose the latter, just press
"Cancel". If you want to see the result, just go to the directory where you
indicated you wanted to save the compressed file with the extension ".dat".
Check the file size if you wish. Select it and press "Open". The
decompressed file will start playing in the VideoLab Player window.
- If you press "Play Compressed File", a small window will appear so that
you can navigate your directory structure to find the desired file with the
".dat" extension. Select the file and press "Open". The VideoLab Player
window will appear and the desired video will start to play immediately
while being decompressed in real time. You can select the size of the
frames, small, standard, large, depending on the computing power of your
computer.
You can stop playing at any desired frame by pressing "Stop". By
pressing "Next", you can advance frame by frame. If you press "Continue",
the video will continue playing from where you stopped. If you want to
process a desired frame, press "Edit Frame" and a FrameLab window will be
superimposed with the desired frame. Select an area of interest with the
mouse and then press "Image" and "New From Selection" in the submenu that
appears. Press "Image" again and then "Expand" followed by the desired
expansion factor. The last step in processing a desired frame is "Enhance".
Press it and the final resulting processed frame can be printed and/or saved
to a directory in your computer. Finally, press "Clean Up" from the "Image"
submenu and then "Yes", to prevent all the intermediate files that have been
created from clogging your system.
Close the FrameLab window to get back to the VideoLab Player window. You
can press "Continue" to continue playing the video from where you stopped.
You can play another compressed file by pressing "Play Files" and
selecting another file using the small window that appears to navigate your
directory.
Finally, press "Stop" and then "Clear Screen" and close the VideoLab
window.
- If you press "Upload to Web", the Video Upload window will appear. There
are three buttons: "Browse", "Upload" and "Refresh".
"Browse" is used to
locate the compressed file you want to upload to your Website.
"Upload" is used to publish the video to the Website.
"Refresh" is used to verify that the corresponding changes to your
Website have been made.
On the left side of this window, you must enter information about your
Website where you want to upload your video. This includes Website address,
username and password. On the right side, press "Browse" to select a
local directory and then press "OK". Then select a file from the list
displayed on the right side of the window and then press "Connect" on the
upper left side to FTP the selected file to your Website. After a while, a
list of files on the Website will appear on the left side of the window
including the file just sent.
Those files can be seen by anybody in the world by simply accessing your
Website and clicking on the desired video file. The ADC2 Video Player will
be automatically downloaded in order for interested persons to decompress
and view your video files. All your videos created with VideoLab are
automatically content protected so that they can be viewed only by
authorized persons. In order for this process to work you must upload an
HTML template to your Website. An example of such a template can be seen by
clicking on Web Page Template in the ADC2 VideoLab window as part of the
file menu and follow the instructions. In order to access the code, right
click on the white part of the displayed window and press "View Source". The
template code will appear and you can change it by scrolling down to the
bottom of the page and modifying the given example URLs and/or add new ones
to link to your videos in your Website. If you have any problem with the
above process to upload your own videos to your Websites, please contact us
