mpeg videos, check whether the HU was created in ATLAS.ti 5.2 and then opened in a later version-if so, you should open and play a segment of each video.
Check that PDs use supported file formats.
NOTE For ATLAS.ti 7, if the Primary Documents are stored in 'My Library' or 'Team Library', you do not need to do the above step. Change any relative file-paths (HUPATH or TBPATH) PDs with relative paths, will be converted to NVivo 'externals', coding will be discarded and the file path will be recorded in the external properties. Check that Primary Documents (PDs) use 'absolute' file paths- for example, 'C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\PrimaryDocument1.doc'.REFI-QDA Standard Prepare an ATLAS.ti projectīefore you export your ATLAS.ti project, you need to do the following: You will get best results, if you prepare the ATLAS.ti project for conversion before you export it to XML.
