MxEasy User Manual: Using MxEasy

–
DivX V3 MPEG-4 (Low Motion): This codec is available for all operating systems as
a free download (www.divx.com).

This tab is only available for AVI/MPEG4.
• Audio: This setting should not be changed unless there is a special
reason to use an audio codec other than PCM. This tab is only available
for AVI/MPEG4.
• Subtitle: An exported clip with audio/video data has a running time that
always starts with “0.“ In order to prevent losing the original time of the
recording, a subtitle file can be created or overlays can be generated. A
subtitle file is saved as a SubRip file and can be displayed during playback.
If overlays are generated, they are always included in the image. They
cannot be hidden. You can produce a time stamp (recording time), the
camera name or even a customized text.
If a time gap of longer than ten seconds exists between the individual
clips, the Display recording gaps option can be activated to provide an
overview of the beginning and end of individual clips. This displays the
end time of the previous clip and the start time of the next clip for ten
seconds in the image.
This tab is only available for AVI/MPEG4.
• File size: You can select a size for the individual files in this tab. If the data
being exported is larger, MxEasy automatically creates additional files
with the same names and a consecutive number.
This tab is only available for MxPEG and AVI/MPEG4.
3.7.3 Playing Back Exported Video Data
MxEasy can directly display MxPEG clips and file server structures.
Open the files by going to File | Open clip. After installing the MxPEG
DirectShow codecs, you can also play MxPEG clips in Windows Media
Player and other DirectShow-compatible programs (free codec download at
www.mobotix.com under Support > Software Downloads).
Exported AVI files can normally be played back with the players that are
already installed in the operating system. We recommend the free VideoLAN
Player (VLC, www.videolan.org) as an additional universal player that can play back
AVI files on all operating systems, yet can also play all other codecs. Both VLC and other
players add the exported files to their playlists so that they can be played back automati-
cally in sequence.
