Introduction

MigliaTV supports various capture formats, which can be played back by most if not all software video applications. However, you may need to install additional video codecs in order to play back some formats. A Video codec is an extenstion, which enables a software video player (like QuickTime Player) to read a video file. Please note that the offered capture formats depend on your TV hardware.

I.Software Video Players

Miglia currently recommends two software video players:

•

QuickTime Player:

QT Player is part of a standard Mac OS X installation. You will find the software in the

 

 

Applications folder on your hard drive.

•

FrontRow;

FrontRow comes with Macs that have a built-in IR rev

•

VLC Media Player:

VLC (Video Lan Client) Media Player is an open source project available on several

 

 

platforms. VLC provides broad compatibility and excellent performance.

II. Required Codecs

You may need to install a video codec to playback some formats. The requirements are listed below:

•MPEG-2 (DVD): MPEG-2 playback is directly supported by VLC, without any additional software installation. If you wish to play back an MPEG-2 file in QuickTime Player, you will need to install the MPEG-2 Playback component available from Apple’s website (Note: The MPEG-2 Playback component is not free of charge).

•MPEG-4: No additional codecs are required to playback an MPEG-4 file. Simply open the file in QuickTime Player, FrontRow or VLC. This applies to files recorded for iPod, iMovie HD, AppleTV, PSP and Full size (MPEG-4).

• DivX:

To playback DivX files, you will need to download the free of charge DivX component

 

available from http://www.divx.com

 

This is not required if you use VLC.
