Convert AVI files to DICOM files

The program allows the user to create a new DICOM file from every AVI file within a folder and (optionally) its sub-folders. By default the program creates jpeg compressed, Little Endian, Explicit VR DICOM files. The user can later edit these DICOM files, modify the value of existed fields in their headers (like Patient Name), add new fields, etc.  Read the topic Edit DICOM files, to learn how you can edit a DICOM file.

AVI to DICOM conversion feature is accessible via the menu command:  "FileBatchConvert Movies (AVI) to DICOM". When the user selects this command, a dialog box appeared and allows the user to select the folder with AVI files and convert them to DICOM files.

To convert AVI files to DICOM:
1) Press the "Browse" button and pick the folder with AVI files.
2) Press the "Convert" button, to convert AVI files to DICOM. The program does not destroy the AVI files, actually creates (in the same folder) a new DICOM file for every AVI file.

The program allows the user to select the Compression Factor of the images of the new DICOM files. A higher value in this factor results in better image quality and a larger file size. A lower value means a lower picture quality but also a smaller file size.

About templates
The DICOM template, is actually a simple file in form of DICOM header, which contains DICOM attributes (fields/tags) with or without values. Create a new DICOM template, and add the attributes you wish to exist in new DICOM files. You can add values in those attributes that are constant from file to file, like Institution Name and Address. The template usage is optional, the user can leave the template field blank.
