Recording your source video to disk
• Paste To paste the copied settings to another VS4 input, click beside
the input and choose
Paste. The video file type, codec settings, audio file
type, and audio settings that are compatible with your VS4 input are applied.
Default settings will be applied for any incompatible settings.
Matrox VS4 file naming conventions
The base name specified under Record Path in the Matrox ISO Recording tool
applies to both the video and audio files that are recorded, but the naming
conventions for video and audio files differ as follows:
• Video files Recorded video files contain the base name, VS4 input, and
recording number using the following convention:
basename_input_recordingnumber
For example, if the base name for Input 1 is Record, the resulting file will be
named Record_1_0. You can also have more than one recording for a given
input. In this case, the files are differentiated by a recording number. This
occurs when:
$ You clear and then re-select a previously selected input during a recording
session. In this case, you will have a different file for each selection
sequence. For example, if you’re recording Input 1 with the base name
Record, and you select Input 1 three times during a recording session, the
resulting video files will be Record_1_0, Record_1_1, and Record_1_2.
$ You disconnect a source from a selected input during a recording session,
and then connect a source with a different video format to the same input.
For example, if you’re recording an NTSC source connected to Input 1 to
an .avi file with the base name Record, and then you connect a 720p at
59.94 fps source to the same input, the resulting video files will be
Record_1_0, and Record_1_1. If you connect a source with the same
video format as the original source, the recording will continue in the
original video file (that is, a separate video file will not be created).
• Audio files If you’re recording to separate audio files, the audio files are
named the same as the video files, except that they also include the audio
channel type (mono or stereo) and an incremental suffix using the following
convention:
basename_input_recordingnumber_channeltypesuffix
For example, if you’re recording Input 1 with the base name Record,
Audio
Channels
is set to 8, and Stereo is selected as the Audio Channel Type,
the resulting audio files will be named Record_1_0_Stereo1,
Record_1_0_Stereo2, Record_1_0_Stereo3, and Record_1_0_Stereo4. If
Mono is selected as the Audio Channel Type instead of Stereo, eight files
will be created instead of four, and the files will be named
Record_1_0_Mono1, Record_1_0_Mono2, Record_1_0_Mono3, and so on.
