This setting is only available in the extended mode of the Export box. Click the >> button in the bottom right corner to display it.

Following export modes (container types) are available:

  1. Export Without data conversion, if the Original format checkbox is set. Export is performed in the format of file system of Intellect, i.e. the format in which archive is stored on a disk. Export without conversion is not available for the external repositories.
    The following functions are NOT available in this mode:
    1. Watermark is not added to the video.

    2. Captions enabling and disabling are not available while export. If an archive record has captions, they will be exported. While switching on the no data conversion position, the Captions checkbox is set automatically and becomes unavailable for editing.

    3. The conversion is not available – the Display as on monitor screen checkbox is hidden.

    4. Export in .exe format is not available.
  2. Export to AVI, MKV, MP4, FLV, ASF file in the orifinal format, if the Original format radio button is selected. Export is performed without changing of the codec. The following restrictions should be considered:
    1. ASF format does not support MxPEG, H265, MW codecs
    2. MP4 format does not support MxPEG, MW, Microsoft Video 1 codecs
    3. FLV format does not support H265, MxPEG, MPEG4, MW, MJPEG, Microsoft Video 1 codecs
    4. MKV format does not support MW, MxPEG, Microsoft Video 1 codecs
  3. Export to AVI, MKV, MP4, FLV, ASF file in the specified format, if the Recompression radio button is selected. Video codec is specified using the Video format button, audio codec is specified using the Audio format button.
    The following functions are available in this mode:
    1. If fisheye conversion, rotation or scaling is applied to the image in the Surveillance window, then in order to export the video using this conversion, it is necessary to set the Display as on monitor screen checkbox (see Image processing). The video is stored in the archive in the original format, and when being exported, the video angle is selected at the current moment for the camera in the Surveillance window.

    2. A watermark is added to the video when export to AVI, MKV, MP4, FLV, ASF format is selected in the original or specified format. This watermark is overlaid on the video when archive footage is replayed in AxxonPlayer (see Watermarks).

      Available codecs when exporting with recompression:

100 fps will be displayed in the properties of the exported AVI file. This value is set by the software, as the frames of the original video can be arranged unevenly. When exporting, frames are distributed so that the final AVI file is played smoothly.

The size of the exported AVI file is limited to 1.97 GB. For other formats and modes, there is no size limit.


By default, if the selected export period contains a recording from several streams that have different video resolutions, then each video fragment of such a stream will be exported to a separate file. It is possible to splice such video fragments into one file using the UseFfmpegConcat registry key (for details, see Registry keys reference guide). In this case the resulting exported file will be in MKV format regardless of the selected container type.

When clicking the Video format button, the dialog window will open, in which codec and compression ratio are to be selected.

Recompression without compression is only available for AVI container.


When recompressing to Xvid MPEG4 Codec/Microsoft Video 1 format, the resulting exported file may be several seconds longer.


When recompressing to x264vfw − H.264 / MPEG-4 AVC codec format, the first few seconds in the resulting exported file may be lost.

When clicking the Audio format button, the dialog window will open, in which format of audio file and set of sound quality parameters or ready settings profile are to be selected.

For ASF and MKV containers, when exporting with recompression, it is necessary to select an attribute value of 8,000 kHz or less in the PCM audio format parameter.

When exporting to AVI, MKV, MP4, FLV, ASF, it is possible to specify the size of the exported file using the same-name switch. If the size of the exported file is more than the specified value, then the file will be divided into several parts − volumes. Positions of the Exported file size switch correspond to following ways of defining the volume size:

  1. CD – the files of this size are suitable for record on CD-disk (670 MB).

  2. DVD – the files of this size are suitable for record on DVD-disk (4,7 GB, for AVI file – 2 GB).

    If you selected CD or DVD, and the size of the archive that needs to be exported is larger than the disk size, the recording will go as follows: the part of the exported archive will be recorded on the inserted disk. Then the disk drive will open for the next disk to be inserted. After inserting a new disk, the next part of the archive will be recorded on it. And so on, until all video recordings are exported.


  3. Divide by alarms – division into files is performing if there are time intervals between the records. If the recording is continuous, alarms are not considered.

  4. Specify the volume size in megabytes in the text field. The AVI file should not be set to more than 2048 MB. If you set a larger value, the size of the resulting files will still not exceed 2 GB.
