Iris will align groups on these intervals. That is, when you start recording at 3:29pm with a 1
hour interval, a new clip will be opened at 4:00pm.
Note: while a clip is open for "recording" it will appear in the clip list without a thumbnail
image if it's in AVI or WMV format. Once it is closed, it will appear and may then be viewed. If
you wish to immediately view what's been recorded so far in an open clip, you may use the
"traffic signal" command button in the toolbar
(See 4.) to momentarily stop recording. All clips
currently open for recording will be closed. The Blue Iris DVR (.bvr) file format does not suffer
from this restriction--you may open the movie for viewing while it is simultaneously open for
recording.
The Cut each time the motion sensor is triggered option forces the current movie to be closed
and another created each time the motion sensor is triggered--the result is a hybrid of the
Continuous and Motion sensor recording options.
A JPEG Quality setting allows you to control the JPEG compression, expressed as a percentage
from 1 to 100. Low quality values equate to small files, but very noisy images.
Video File Format and Compression
Click the File format and compression button to open the video format window.
You may choose between AVI, Blue Iris DVR (.bvr), Windows Media (.wmv) or MPEG-4
(.mp4). Each format has its advantages. The Windows Media and MPEG-4 options are
available only with the Full license installed; they are not available with the LE license.
