corner of the screen, 2) superimposes the message, Video Recording starts.

the upper left corner of the window, and 3) begins storing an .m4v video clip in
the RecordVideo subfolder of the sdcard folder of your Android device (even if
no SD card is installed in your device, or an SD card is installed and it is full.)
To stop recording the video clip, touch the (STOP) button on the right side of
the app window.

To attach a stored video clip to an e-mail message, you must first exit the
iBORESCOPE app and disconnect from the instrument’s ad hoc WiFi spot. Only
then will you be able to connect to a conventional WiFi hot spot with Internet
connectivity. Any stored .m4v clip that you attach to an e-mail message is
converted to an .mp4 file that may or may not be able to be opened by the PC
platform’s most popular media player—Windows Media Viewer—depending on
the player’s supporting cast of codecs. Most video files, including .mp4 files,
can be opened by versatile media players such as freeVLC (www.videolan.org).
