Figure 10.1: Video playback on Windows XP using VLC media player
Playback using Microsoft Windows Media Player
Windows Vista and Windows 7 do not require any additional CODECs to be installed and Windows
Media Player will play MP4 video files created by the P340 controller.
PCs running Windows XP require additional video and audio CODECs to be installed in order to play
MP4 video files. You can install the correct CODECs for playback on Windows Media Player by
installing FlexiSight Manager.
Your computer may already have third party H264 and AAC CODECs installed. While these may enable
playback using Windows Media Player (or other playback software) they may inadvertently affect the
performance of FlexiSight Manager and the computer.
This is known as CODEC conflict. CODEC conflict may cause your video program or your entire system to
become unstable or even crash. If you suspect a CODEC conflict has occurred, uninstall FlexiSight
Manager and all third party H.264 and AAC CODECs then reinstall FlexiSight Manager.
CODEC conflicts can be diagnosed using a number of online free tools. Windows XP tools like GSPOT or
Sherlock: The Codec Detective will allow you to see which CODECs you have installed on your PC and if
they can play MP4 (H264/AAC) files. Alternatively use a dedicated video player that supports H264/AAC
files.
