Convert Media File in QuickTime Using ActiveX in LabVIEW

[GriffinRU]

Overview
This VI converts media file to other format that is supported by QuickTime on your computer.

 
Description
You can specify media file that is supported by QuickTime. After executing the code, it will launch QuickTime on your computer and opens dialog box to specify the location of converted file. There is another sample code that uses embedded QuickTime control and converts the file without launching QuickTime. This is particularly useful if you do not wish to launch QuickTime separately.

Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)
• QuickTime 7.7.8 (or compatible)

3. Enter media file location
4. Specify media format to convert to
5. Run the program
