Page 76 VLC media player(from the Videolan project) or Quicktime (from Apple) support files created with the flexirpobe. Both VLC and Quicktime do not require additional CODECs and are available free for Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Mac OS X and most Linux distributions (VLC only). VLC media player, see Figure 10.1, is available on line from the VideoLan project website: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Quicktime media player is available on line from the Apple website.
Page 77: Distributing Your Recordings
10.4 Distributing your recordings When it comes to distributing your recordings the first thing to consider is your customer’s requirements. Generally speaking there are two possibilities: they may require a DVD or a digital video file.  DVDs are one of the most popular ways to distribute videos. Most households have Domestic DVD players and most modern PCs are equipped with a DVD player.
Page 78 Setting the P340 flexiprobe controllers for PC or TV screen: To produce a DVD or digital video file recording to be played on a TV screen set your On Screen Information layout to TV. To produce a DVD or digital video file recording to be played on a PC screen set you OSD layout to Normal.
Page 79 3. Switch on the controller and locate the file you wish to convert using the file browser. 4. Do not play the file at this stage. 5. Insert a blank DVD into the DVD recorder and begin recording. 6. Play the file on the controller. NOTE: if your recordings were not set to TV mode, use the digital zoom function on the controller to match the P340 flexiprobe video picture size to the one captured by your DVD recorder and displayed by your TV.
Page 80 DivX and Xvid AVI files A popular file format supported by many newer DVD players and many portable digital players is DivX. You can re-encode our files in AVI DivX by using a suitable video converter. DivX CODECs for Windows and Mac are available to download freely for personal use. Xvid is an open source implementation of the DivX CODEC.
Page 81: Converting Digital Videos
Using data CDs, DVDs and flash memory devices You can copy any digital video file on to a standard, blank data DVD or CD using any burning program that is compatible with your computer. NOTE: If using an Apple Mac, be sure that you encode your DVD using the Joliet file system for maximum compatibility with Windows-based computers.
