Supported digital video files
H264/AAC MP4 files
The flexiprobe system creates MP4 files which are encoded in H.264 for the video and AAC for the
audio.
If you decide to distribute MP4 files created with the flexiprobe system you must ensure that your
customer is able to play the files on his computer. To do this our customer must have the right
CODECs installed or a dedicated digital video player that supports both CODECs.
Alternatively you may distribute (subject to licensing) a suitable third-party media player or the relevant
CODECS with your recordings.
VLC media player, see Figure 10.1, is free to use and distribute and available on line from the VideoLan
project website: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
Unsupported digital video files
CAUTION: The P340 flexiprobe controllers and FlexiSight Manager only support .MP4 files created
with the P340 flexiprobe system or by FlexiSight Manager. The information here is intended as a general
guide only.
In order to produce a different video digital file you will have to use a video conversion application to re-
encode your file.
Video conversion software gives considerable control over many video properties, allowing you to create
files that best suit your requirements.
On Microsoft Windows systems, third-party applications like the “Ultimate video converter” offered by
Xilisoft (commercial) or “Any Video Converter” (free), both available on the web, can convert P340 MP4
files into many other digital video formats.
“Any Video Converter” is available from www.any-video-converter.com/download-avc-free.php
For an introduction on converting P340 flexiprobe videos to different (unsupported) formats using a
computer, please refer to Section 10.5.
