Quality & Fidelity
Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the RealMedia Video format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in RealMedia Video are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content. Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality Digital Negative input produces an excellent RealMedia Video output. Xonvert defaults to high quality settings that keep file size reasonable without compromising perceivable quality. Digital Negative encodes data using mathematical algorithms that preserve every data point. RealMedia Video similarly focuses on perceptual quality. The conversion maps between these approaches intelligently.
Converting a static Digital Negative image to RealMedia Video video format creates a single-frame video file. This is useful for creating video slideshows, adding images to video editing timelines, or preparing content for platforms that only accept video formats. The output will contain your image as a still frame with the duration and framerate you specify.
Compression trade-off: Your lossless DNG source retains all original data. Converting to lossy RM will reduce file size substantially, but some data is permanently discarded. Use the quality slider to balance file size against fidelity.
