Playing an MPEG File

Figure 41. MPEG Viewer Application Dialog Box
2. Click the Open button.
The Open dialog box appears.
3. Navigate to the location of the MPEG file you wish to play. Note that MPEG files appear in any of the following formats:
*.mpg, *.mp2, or *.mp4
where:
• The * represents the file name of the recording that was saved. The file name contains the start date and start time of the recording.
The file name also contains a number indicating the order in which the recording was saved. The order number begins with 0. For
example, if the start date and start time of the recording is January 15, 2004 at 11:46:40 and the recording is the first saved recording,
the file name appears as 15_01_2004_11_46_40_0.mpg.
• If the recording was saved using the red Recording button, the extension of the file name is .mpg, which represents an MPEG-2 or
MPEG-4 formatted file.
NOTE: In addition to a file name having a .mpg, .mp2, or .mp4 extension, the NVR300 also saves an associated file having a .ind extension when
a recording is saved. The .ind file is necessary to play the associated .mpg, .mp2, or .mp4 file with the MPEG Viewer.
4. Click the file you wish to play, and then click the Open button.
The MPEG Viewer application dialog box reappears.
5. Click the Play button to being playing the file.
The file (video and, if applicable, audio) begins playing. The video appears in the video display section of the dialog box.
Note the following:
• A progress indicator bar contains a slider that advances as the file plays.
