Chapter 4, Using the VS4Recorder Pro Application
Split file naming
An automatic naming convention is applied to split video files. An index will be
appended to the split file (see “File naming convention” on page 35). However, if
a file name is changed during a capture, the next split file will not get the new file
name (as its base file name). The new file name is only applied whenever a
recording session (Independent, Multi-Cam or VS4Control) is stopped and then
restarted after the change is made, or when reconnecting an input (during a
capture) with a different resolution.
Splitting WAV audio files
Depending on your audio settings, when you record separate .wav files along
with your video, the .wav files have a maximum size of 4 GB, which also makes
for a maximum time duration. If you wish to capture a lengthy separate .wav file,
file splitting will be required, to make .wav files that will respect the size
limitation (see “WAV files” on page 46).
Splitting AAC audio files
You can capture AAC codec data when recording:
• H.264 .mp4 or H.264 .mov
• AAC files as separate audio files
¡ Important When file splitting is enabled, AAC is not available for separate
audio files.
Video codec
Select specific video codecs for HD and SD sources. The selected codec will be
used for all subsequent HD and SD recordings. For more information, see
“Advanced settings” on page 44.
If you choose to include audio with your recording, the first two audio channels
from the input source are embedded in the video file as PCM audio, or AAC
audio when using the H.264 codec, and separate audio files are created as
specified in the VS4Recorder Pro setting.
Remarks
• If recording files using an H.264 codec, the resulting .mov or .mp4 file will
include either stereo or mono embedded AAC audio, depending on your
audio settings.
• If recording files using the MPEG-2 I-frame codec, the resulting .avi file will
include embedded stereo PCM audio.
• If recording files using a DV codec, the resulting .mov file will include either
stereo or mono embedded PCM audio, depending on your audio settings.
For more information, see “Audio settings” on page 45.
