VIDEO PLAYBACK

Because of the many different video playback 

programs available and their constantly updating 

nature, we cannot provide a complete list of 

compatible software. Windows Media Player will 

generally play the video files created by this pen 

depending on your particular configuration.
If your default media player does not properly 

play back the video, then you can either 

download a codec (plug-in) to allow it to work 

with M-JPEG (or MJPG) video, or you can 

download a standalone player. A simple web 

search will yield useful results.
At the time of this writing, the DivX codec 

plug-in for Windows Media Player has been 

demonstrated to provide good results.
For both Mac and PC computers, a free video 

playback option is DivX Plus Player which is 

available at 

http://www.divx.com

The free KMPlayer software will open and play 

your videos on a Windows PC. It is available for 

free online at 

http://download.cnet.com

 where 

you can search for it by that name.

STILL IMAGES

Still images can be opened in Windows’ Image 

Viewer, Apple’s Preview and commonly available 

photo editing software.

AUDIO PLAYBACK

Double-clicking on an audio recording will launch 

your default audio playback software. If you wish 

to use another program instead, you should first 

launch that software and then open the file from 

within that program. 
Apple’s iTunes software has been demonstrated 

to work with these audio files on both the Mac 

and PC platforms.

PLAYBACK

The images and videos can be accessed by 

inserting the USB plug into computer’s USB port.

Open it as you would any other drive or external 

USB flash memory device. 
Video files are located in the 

VIDEO

 folder. 

Still images can be found in the 

IMAGE

 folder.

Audio files are saved in the 

RECORD

 folder.

It is recommended that you save these files to your 

hard drive before editing or playing back. 
Unwanted files can be removed from the drive 

through the normal means.
