For more information on using the computer command line please

Video File Encoding
Setup Open the command prompt and change the directory to the NSVtool folder.
(Default C:\Program Files\NSVtools).

The next step is to configure the encoder. At the command prompt, type "nsvenc /config"
(no quotation marks used).

This command opens the "NSVenc configuration" window.
You can adjust the video processing, audio processing and output framerate
according to your encoding requirements.
The next step is to set up your audio and video encoding.
To set up the encoders click the "NSV Encoder Configuration".

Select the audio and video codec you want to encode with.

You can choose either MP3 (Lame encoder installs with NSV Tools) or AAC to encode your NSV audio.
You can find out more about audio encoding here.
You can choose either the VP3 codec (VP3 video codec installs with NSV Tools) or VP6. VP3 is free for
commercial or non commercial use. VP6.2 is a proprietary codec and must be licensed for commercial use.
ON2 has released a NSV compatible encoder plugin for VP6.2 You can download the plugin here :
www.on2.com/nsv_plugin.php3
You can find out more information about VP3 and VP6.2 video codec configuration here
Select a bit-rate to aim for (it won't be constant and may not even be near it).
Hit "OK" then "OK" again to exit.
NOTE: Both the VP3 and VP6 video format are variable-bitrate in nature, so the bitrate won't
be constant. Plus if you have a frame rate and resolution that is high and a bitrate that is lower then the actual bitrate may be much, much larger then the
entered bitrate. If you need to lower the frame rate or the resolution try the
option in the previous configuration window. (These settings will increase CPU
usage).
Encoding
Any DirectShow decodable file (AVI, MPEG, etc..) can be encoded into into NSV
assuming the system has the proper DirectShow filters (if it can play in Winamp,
you should be able to encode it). Also, QuickTime is supported if you have
QuickTime installed.
Encoding is then straight forward
Syntax - nsvenc input.ext output.nsv
Example - nsvenc my_great_move.avi my_great_movie.nsv
If you have any encoding problems you can force some video properties using the
"source settings" and "directshow settings" switches from the
command line. Just type nsvenc with no parameters for a full switch
listing.
