 Also we have '''CLOSE''' button which is practical when, for instance, you decide to delete the file being played. Because video file that is open in player is locked for writing.

 '''Tip'''. To save your time, you can select multiple files at once when adding conversion task. In this case they should all have the same layout (number of cameras and video mode), and also similar time boundaries for the background portion. Because input and background parameters will be the same for all files. When specifying output file name you can use some placeholders for parts of input file name to make output file names differ from each other. For details, see tooltip for the '''output files pattern''' field. All output files are placed in the same folder. After pressing '''ADD''' button, multiple tasks will be added to the task list, one for each input file.
-Conversion of each individual video file is represented as an item in the task list. This list contains all conversions that are completed or scheduled during current launch of iPi Recorder. At top there are completed tasks, you can open converted videos in player. Next is currently processing conversion, you can see its progress and cancel it. At the bottom of the list there are scheduled tasks, which also can be cancelled. When currently executing conversion is complete, the next scheduled task starts automatically. You can cancel all tasks at once by pressing '''CLEAR''' button.

-If you need CPU resources consumed by current conversion for other activities (for example, for recording), you can pause it with the corresponding button. Later you can continue conversion with '''RESUME''' button, just do not close iPi Recorder, or you'll lose your progress.
