Loading Video without using the Open Video Wizard
If you know which file to choose to open the video, or if you know which decoder you wish to use to
attempt to decode the video, you can use the traditional method of loading video instead of the
Open Video Wizard.
To open a file use the File ->
Open video menu option, and
select the appropriate file from
the hard disk, USB device or
CD/DVD.
SiraView will attempt to
automatically detect the format of the video files,
but if you already know which format to use you can
select the appropriate decoder from the list.
SiraView shows you which decoder it’s using to try to
open the video, and how far through the file it has
got.
During autodetect, SiraView tries to open the file with each of its decoders in turn. You can skip a
particular decoder by clicking the skip button.
