Label
Description / Options
l
AVI: Generally used for playback on Windows.
l
MP4: A progressive version of MP4. Select MP4 for the best compatibility with
most video players and editors. Progressive MP4 files are initially recorded as
MP4-Fragmented and are converted when the recording ends.
If the recording is stopped while in progress or during conversion, the files
remain in fragmented MP4 format. You can run the file through ffmpeg or
another transcoder to convert to the progressive format.
l
MP4-Fragmented: A newer MP4 format. Fixed 10 second intervals. Select MP4-
Fragmented for the same file format as releases 3.15.x. Some applications, like
Adobe Premiere Pro, don't yet support fragmented MP4.
There's no way to tell the difference between MP4 files and MP4-Fragmented files
from the file name because both use the .mp4 extension.
l
MPEG-TS:Does not support PCM audio encoding.
l
MOV: A progressive version of MOV. Generally used for playback on Mac OS.
This type of MOV has the best compatibility with video players and editors.
