File naming convention
As captured video files are created and saved, a naming convention is applied to
make them easy to locate and identify. The naming convention follows a specific
order of identifiers; however, the saved video file path changes somewhat
depending on your settings. For example, the
Include in Filename drop-down
menu options, the use of file splitting, or choosing to record in Stereo or Mono all
have an effect.
How files are named
The save file name applies to both the video and audio files that are recorded for
a source; however, the file naming convention differs based on the recording. The
starting and stopping of the recording session or of a single input, creates new
incrementing indexes following the input number. File splitting creates a 3-digit
index before the file extension.
You can have more than one recording for a given source during the same
recording session. In this case, the files are differentiated by a recording number
(index). This occurs when:
• You disable a source that is currently recording, and then re-enable the same
source during the same recording session. This results in a different file for
each sequence.
• If you experience a loss of signal, causing a disconnection, the recording will
continue in the original video file, with black video recorded between
connections.
• You enable file splitting, which splits the captured video files at set intervals.
Every time the split time limit elapses, a new file with a unique file name is
created. For more information, see “Automatic file splitting” on page 38.
Audio files
If you choose to include audio with your recording (see “Audio settings” on page
45), the first two audio channels from the input source are embedded in the video
file, and separate audio files are created as specified in the VS4Recorder Pro
settings. The separate audio files are named the same as the corresponding source
video file, except that they also include the audio channel type (mono or stereo)
and an incremental suffix using the following convention:
filename_input_recordingnumber_channeltypesuffix or
filename_channeltypesuffix
¦NoteWhen recording eight audio channels, if you choose to create mono files
instead of stereo files, eight files will be created instead of four, and the files will
be named Record_Mono1, Record_Mono2, Record_Mono3, and so on.
