Playing AVI Files
To playback AVI files:
1. On your PC, open the folder where you saved the AVI file. By default, converted files use the
following naming convention:
Dvr-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS_CH##_[screenxresolution]_#fps.avi
2. Double-click the file to open in your default media player, or right-click to open the file with a
AVI-compatible media player.

ATTENTION
: You can only view AVI files if your media player has the DivX or XviD
codec (not included). VLC and DivX Player can play AVI files natively. If you are
using Windows Media Player or Quicktime Player, you need to install the DivX or
XviD codec.
