You can manually convert a folder of XIR3000 .REC files into a 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

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.
