File Naming
A specific file naming convention is used so that the Digital
Binloop HD can identify the file type, as well as associate the file
with a number. Here is a table that shows the naming
conventions based on the type of file that is being named:
File Type File Naming Style
MPEG2 Video Elementary Stream VIDnnnnn.M2V
H.264 Video Elementary Stream VIDnnnnn.H264
VC-1 Video Elementary Stream VIDnnnnn.VC1
MPEG Transport Stream VIDnnnnn.MPG
As you can see from this table, the files are identified based on
the file extension. For example, the Binloop will identify a file
with an extension of
H264 as an H.264 Elementary Stream.
The file number is determined by the 5-digit ‘ nnnnn ’ portion of
the file name. The Binloop supports files that are assigned
numbers between 0 and 1023, so this part of the filename is
always represented as
00000 through 01023 .
Just as an example, let’s say you wanted to create a Transport
Stream that you wanted to associate as file #123. To do this,
you would need to rename the video file to VID00123.MPG.
Note: Every file on the media must have a unique number in the file
name, no duplications are allowed. If you have duplicate file
numbers (i.e. two files associated as file #1), the Binloop would
consistently choose only one of those files when told to play the
associated number.
