4Xsound enables you to add or delete a soundtrack in a 4XM file. Thus, you can create 4XM
video files containing several soundtracks. This option is frequently resorted to for the
creation of multilingual productions.
4Xsound is used in command mode.
Syntax :
4Xsound_input file .4XM output file .4XM/switches
input file. .4XM Enter the name and where necessary the path of the original
.4XM file
output file .4XM Enter the name and, where necessary, the path of the .4XM file
resulting from the addition or deletion of soundtracks. The name
must be different from the input file.
Sound file.avi File containing the soundtrack to be added. This file may be in either
AVI or WAV format. e.g. : /I speak.wav
/T track number Number of the audio track (default number : 0). As the 4X format can
contain several audio tracks it is indispensable to number each one so
that the player (4XM_Play) can identify them. By default, track 0 will be
played. Example : /T 3
/C packer.id Gives the sound compression format required for the inserted track.
0 = PCM, 1 = ADPCM. PCM is the default format
/O Automatically overwrites the previous track if the track number selected
belongs to a track that already exists in the 4XM input file.
/R track number Deletes the track indicated. Example : /R 2 will delete track 2 in the
4XM input file.
/A Replaces the output 4XM file selected if it already exists.

Speed (frames/sec) Specify the number of images per second in your video
recording. This parameter is only used when reading the 4XM file
in order to fix the running speed for the images.
NB : 4XM_Comp does not set a time scale.
If you have used a video recording running at 25 images/second
and you enter 15 in the « Speed » box, 4XM_Comp will
compress all the images contained in the input video, but will
play the compressed file at a speed of 15 frames/sec, producing
a slow-motion effect.
Data Rate Defines the throughput in bytes per second. The default value for
this parameter is 800 000 i.e. 780 Kb per second corresponding
to a CDX8 drive. You should count about 100 Kb per second for
a single-speed drive. This calculation takes into account both
images and sound. If there is no sound it is for the images alone.
Crop This option allows you to cut the video sequence to desired
dimensions. Do not enter anything in this box unless you wish to
change the size of the video sequence that is to be compressed.
Crop Width Width in number of pixels of the window to be compressed
Crop Height Height in number of pixels of the window to be compressed
Crop Left X coordinates in pixels of the window to compress, starting from
the left-hand side of the image
Crop Top Y coordinates, in pixels, from the top of the image, of the window
to compress.
Resize This option allows enlargement or reduction of the size of the
video to be compressed. Enter nothing here unless you wish to
modify the size of the video that is to be compressed. The Crop
and Resize functions may be used simultaneously. The Crop
function will then be performed first and afterwards the rest of the
video will be reduced or enlarged to the dimensions specified by
the Resize function.
This function uses bilinear filtering algorithms which may
substantially increase compression times.
Resize Width New width - in pixels - of the video to be compressed.
Resize Height New height - in pixels - of the video to be compressed

Video Input : Enter the name of the video input file to be compressed.
Audio Input : Enter the name of the audio file to be compressed. The audio file
may be included in the original video file. In this case, enter the
same name in each field.
Movie Output : Enter the name and path of the compressed file to be created
(4XM)
Restart Output : Default option : any file having the same name will be deleted
and replaced by the new file.
Continue Option : Allows resumption of compression after an interruption. In this
case, you must enter the name of the 4XM file created during the
first phase of compression.
Append Output : Allows you to add the compression to be performed to an
existing 4XM file. Enter the name of the 4XM file to which you
intend to add a new sequence. This sequence is then necessarily
added after the existing file.
