recording file in
7 Type the conversion command in the format: codian_to_mpg <your_filename>.codian
Example: codian_to_mpg recording_0_training_recording_2.codian
This converts the downloaded Codian file to MPEG format e.g. recording_0_training_recording_2.mpg stored
in the same directory. The file contains video encoded to 352 x 288 pixels in size; the video stream is
positioned in the top left corner and the content channel is on the right. If there was a second video stream, it is
shown below the first one.
Consult the Codian Converters Getting Started Guide for more advanced MPEG conversion options such
as setting the video and audio quality and choosing which streams to convert and their positioning.
