Record video from Ethernet camera

Hi Andrey

Thanks for the explanation.

I have 8 bit gray image. When I run the "IMAQ AVI Get Filter Names VI" located in "Functions»Vision and Motion»Vision Utilities»Files»AVI" the program doesn't end and doesn't respond anymore. I would like not to loose quality in the image and I don't care of the file size because all the video is no more than 300 images.

Should not work that when I do not pass any filter the AVI is saved without compression? I say that it is a not standard AVI because when I try to open it with a VI, it can not read the file even if one, and only one, of my player is able to play it correctly. 😐 

Best regards

Hi, Pier,

If you will not connect the filter name to Save AVI Vi, then your AVI will be saved with "Default" codec (I guess, it will be first from the list of available codecs.).

You should give enough time for IMAQ AVI Get Filter Names vi. It looks like "not responding application", but if you will wait, then you will get the list. On my PC it takes 3-5 minutes for obtain. Just start it and take a lunch or coffee break. Tip for you - write down returned list, then you can choose codec without call IMAQ AVI Get Filter Names.

I don't remember which one produces AVI without quality lost... Microsoft RLE codec, probably.

Andrey.

Good morning 🙂

...I have just found that after all the night the VI to get the filter name didn't finished (running on a quad core with 4GB of RAM) . 

I installed the "ACE Mega CoDecS Pack"  so I should have all the filter; does anybody can tell me some exactly codec name I've to pass to the VI while saving an AVI gray 8 Bit?

Thanks

I have found the list of codec intalled on my computer.

The only problem is that if you intall "ACE Mega CoDecS Pack" (full installation) then "IMAQ AVI Get Filter Names VI" doesn't work anymore. Why?

Thanks
