Conversion of XIR3000 .REC file folders into blipmovies

Manually

You can manually convert a folder of XIR3000 .REC files into a single blipmovie like this:

• select the .REC folder using the From: button in the player
• select a destination blipmovie file using the To: button in the player
• make sure the record button is pressed in the player
• choose blip processing parameters
• hit "Play" in the player

Batch

It is tedious to do this repeatedly, so you can use the script attached below to automate this.

• save the script in your radR/scripts folder
• start radR to get a GUI
• set up the desired blip finding and filtering parameters in the blip processing window
• right click in the plot window and choose Source R script...
• select this script
• when prompted, choose the top-level folder;  the script looks in sub-folders one level down for .REC files
• each sub-folder with .REC files will be converted to a blipmovie and saved in the top-level folder
• blipmovies will be given names consisting of the subfolder name pasted onto the name of the first .REC file
• this script turns off plot wi ndow updates, but you will see progress indicated by changing timestamps in the plot window titlebar

Note: as usual with radR, changing which plugins are active or changing their parameter values while processing may corrupt output blipmovies.  This is a long-standing bug which will be remedied in a future version.  It is safest to not adjust settings while radR is recording a blipmovie.
