Converting video files to ASF or MP4 format

Security Desk enables you to convert previously exported G64 or G64x video files to ASF or MP4 format so they can be viewed using Windows media players.

What you should know

Video files exported in ASF or MP4 format can be viewed using software such as Windows Media Player. You do not need Security Desk installed. This is helpful if you need to make a copy of a video recording to share with law enforcement, your legal department, or other members of your security team.

To convert a video file to ASF or MP4 format:

  1. From the home page, do one of the following:
    • Click Tools > Vault .
    • Open the Video file explorer task, and select the folder that contains the video file to convert.
  2. Select the video file, and click the Save as button ().
    NOTE: To select multiple video files, hold the Ctrl or Shift key.
  3. In the Save as dialog box, you can type a new File name, or leave the existing one.
  4. From the File format field, choose ASF or MP4.
  5. Click Save to start the conversion.
    TIP: You can check the progress of the conversion at any time by double-clicking the Video conversion () icon in the notification tray.
