Power CD+G to Video Karaoke Converter can read CD+G discs directly with most CD+G drives. To convert songs from CD+G disc into karaoke video files follow the steps below.
1. Select CD+G disc in Input section (this is the default mode)
2. Insert CD+G disc into your CD or DVD drive on your PC. If you have more than one drive make sure that Device points to the proper one.
3. Click Refresh. You should see the list of tracks. If you have enabled FreeDB lookup in Settings and the CD was listed there, you will see the names of the songs.
Power CD+G to Video Karaoke Converter uses FreeDB online database to display song titles. Please note that to use this feature you need to be connected to the internet and you must allow Power CD+G to Video Karaoke Converter to access the web if you are using firewall.
Note: Not all CD+G discs are available in FreeDB database.
4. Select the tracks you want to convert.
5. Select the output format. You have two choices:
AVI - this is for videos to play on your computer and on DivX-compatible DVD players
MPEG - use this to create VideoCD and DVD-compatible videos
6. If the CD+G disc was found in FreeDB database, you may use additional fields to define the filename in Output filename mask:
| o | {Song} will be replaced with track name, so if you define 'CD1 - {Song}' as a filename mask, files 'CD1 - Track 01.bin', 'CD1 - Track 02.bin', etc. will be created. If track name is retrieved from FreeDB server, this will be usually artist name and song title. |
| o | {Album} will be replaced with the album name retrieved from FreeDB server. |
| o | {TrackNumber} will be replaced with the track number (with a leading 0 for tracks 01 - 09). |
| o | {Artist} will be replaced with artist name (artist name has to be separated by '/' [slash] from track title) |
| o | {Title} will be replaced with title (title has to be separated by '/' [slash] from artist name) |
Note: to use {Artist} and {Title} markers each track name needs to be of the following format:
Artist name / Song title (most FreeDB entries follow this rule)
7. Modify compression settings (click below for more information)
Compression settings for AVI files
Compression settings for MPEG files
8. Select the proper output folder using [...] button (you may create new KaraokeVideos folder on your hard disc and select it here).
9. Click Convert.
Each file should take approximately two-three minutes to encode, depending on your system. The final files should each have AVI or MPG extension.
