The Video Browser displays 4 columns of information, File name, Date, Time and Size.

 

Filename

 

The file name is automatically generated on import, the structure of the file name is CarNumber_DayMonthYear_RecordStartTime.filetype

 

The Car number is obtained by matching the units serial number in the owners list.

 

The file type used by the MVS Video Director software is .VOB

 

a VOB file (Video Object) is a container format contained in DVD-Video media. VOB is based on MPEG-2 program stream format, but with additional limitations and specifications in the private streams. It contains the actual Video, Audio, Subtitle, and Menu contents in stream form.

 

If the VOB file extension is changed from .vob to an MPEG-2 type file extension such as .mpg or .mpeg, the file is still readable and continues to hold all information, although most MPEG-2-capable players don't support subtitle tracks.

 

In order to burn the VOB files to a DVD±R disc, other standard DVD-Video files are needed as well, including IFO and BUP files. The burning is easily done using the built in DVD burner software.

 

VOB files will play on a Macintosh using MPlayer, VLC media player, and sometimes DVD Player. On Linux, they will play using Xine, MPlayer or VLC media player. On Windows they will play using most DirectShow compliant media players and VLC media player.

 

You can rename the filename by right clicking on the file and selecting the "rename" option.
