Convert karaoke to video (AVI) Introduction With KaraFun Studio, you can convert your karaoke into video. This process requires some CPU ressources and free disc space. So avoid to lauch other programs at the same time and be sure to have free disc space enough available on you hard disc: if you're working in uncompressed frames for example, output files will be great but huge (several gigs). There are several ways to open the "Convert karaoke to video (AVI)" window: from the karaoke library: right-click on a song, from the karaoke screen: right-click on the current karaoke or from the display menu, from the File, Export, AVI file menu in KaraFun Studio Editor.

Options

• Output file: name of the destination file. By default, in the the same directory.
• Video format: size and number of frames by second
• Video compression: according to the video codecs installed on your PC. No compression = Uncompressed frames
• Audio compression: according to the audio codecs installed on your PC. No compression = PCM
• Audio format: Frequency, resolution and output channels type
• Display: select the modes and display options you want to put on your video: the training mode, the syncs and the start up info screen
• Audio tracks: select among the additionnal audio track available, these you want to be mixed on the main audio source. Don't check if you just want the backing track.

What's the purpose?

There are many reasons to convert karaoke files to video. The main reason is to play the video on TV with a home player. But what kind of supports (CD or DVD) and video formats could it play? Is it a DVD, VCD, SVCD, DivX... player?

So, first of all, answer this 2 questions:

• The karaoke file you want to convert is based on an Audio (MP3, OGG, WAV, AVI, Audio KFN...) or MIDI (KAR, MIDI KFN) music?
• What kind of media (CD or DVD) and video formats your home player can play?

Tips

• To play video, you must have proper video codecs. We advice you to install DivX 6 or Xvid or ffdshow video pack.
• The file size created on a FAT32 partition is limited to 2Go, so if you work in uncompressed trames and your AVI file reaches this limit, conversion will stop halfway. You will have to convert your FAT32 partition into NTFS...
• A DVD is not an AVI file! Create a DVD is not easy : you must use an authoring DVD software, create menus, respect the structure and the video format, etc.
