The recorded video is first captured into fast internal format and then this internal format is converted into final video in a background process.
After you finished capture of video the process of video convertion starts and you can see the progress-bar of convertion process:
- Main progress-bar
- Files for convertion in queue (maximum one file is converted at a time)
- Status of convertion of the file
- Cross for aborting convertion.
Convertion of the file does not block the start of new recording.
The resulting video can be found in the DM Multilight Application installation directory in the "Movies" subfolder.
For example, for the default path it will be "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\OctoNus Software\OctoNus DM-Multilight 1.0.0.4\Movies\".
