How to combine Intellex video clips from various CDs

[LevonP]

Quite of few requests started coming to our direction about this topic. No clear answers were available until recently and this was tested in-house and it works...

Here is what you need to do and must have.

On a machine with network client installed, insert one of the CD’s containing the video clips required. Then, start network client and wait a few seconds for network client to scan the cd drive for a video database. From Network Client, select the video clip of your choice from the tree with a right click and pick export to AVI from the context menu. You can repeat the operations for the other CD’s and then you can burn all the AVI files to a single cd or DVD. You will be able to use windows media player at that point to view the new video clips.

Note: Some courts do not accept video in AVI format as evidence since this is not a secure format. The Intellex proprietary format prevents any tampering and can be used for evidence. Please verify on your end which format is required for this situation.

If you are using Vista, please make sure to follow the instruction here: http://www.cctvhelp.com/showthread.php?t=239

With above procedures, you can make better presentation of your case in courts or otherwise by selecting clips of your choice.

Have fun and give us some feedback if you are using this procedure.

I have Net Client version 4.1 (i think), which allows you to export in many different formats, what is the highest quality format to export the video in?

WYSIWYG - What you see is what you get.. no improvements in video quality with such conversion. This process only allows someone to combine video clips from different CDs and convert to AVI file format.

When you export the file and chose which codec it lists about 10 different types ie mpg, windows media player, wmv 9 etc.. Just wondering which one has the best quality

Excellent question...

We run them all.. nothing different vs. to the original video. I personally think that the source video dictates the limitations for other conversions..

The main idea for this type of conversion is that some courts may accept one type and others different type of codecs - dependent what they already have installed in "presentation" computer... Neat thing about this is that someone can pickup absolute necessary clips from different CD or DVD media and combine for their respective cases. Thus, one shut to make their case instead of swapping media...
