You are not logged in. Your edit will be placed in a queue until it is peer reviewed.

We welcome edits that make the post easier to understand and more valuable for readers. Because community members review edits, please try to make the post substantially better than how you found it, for example, by fixing grammar or adding additional resources and hyperlinks.

Thanks for your answer and the links where I could read more about how the conversions are done. I'm really trying to understand why certain things work instead of just accepting that it works. :) It took me a while to mark as answered because I was trying to read everything you pointed me to - to see if it would answer a different question (stackoverflow.com/questions/35564207/…). But it seems like the new problem I had was somewhat unrelated.
