Starting export

After you configure the required export parameters, click the Export button to start the process.

After you click the Export button, all elements of the utility configuration become inactive, and the bar of export progress is displayed at the bottom of the utility window. The percentage of export is displayed in the window title and next to each camera name.

You can stop export at any time by clicking the Cancel button.

When you minimize the AviExport utility window during export, the progress is displayed in the smaller window:

To expand the AviExport utility window, click the More button.

Export result

After export is completed, a file of the specified type is created in the specified folder—for example, an AVI file with the name in the "camera_id_YYYY-MM-DDTHH-MM-SS.avi" format, or a VIDEO folder containing archive files if export is performed without conversion.

Export features:

1. The duration of the exported file can be longer than the specified export period. This is because the export starts with the last reference frame before the specified time period. For example, if you export 30 seconds of recording, the resulting file can be 31 seconds long.
2. If there are special characters in the camera name, such as \, /, :, *, ?, |, ", they are replaced with underscore _ in the file name. If videos have captions with camera name, they are displayed with special characters (see Setting the parameters of caption export).

3. If video resolution was changed during export, then the exported file is divided into several parts containing archive intervals with different resolutions. If you specify the value of the UseFfmpegConcat key of the HKLM\SOFTWARE\AxxonSoft\AxxonPSIM\Video\AVI registry that combines such fragments into one file (see Registry keys reference guide), the export is performed to an MKV file regardless of the selected container type. If only the codec (not the resolution) was changed during export, then the exported file won’t be divided into parts. The change of codec and resolution can be caused by the selection of different streams for recording upon alarm and continuous recording—see Configuring the multistream video.

4. If you select several cameras for export and at least one of them has no recorded archive in the specified time interval, the files will be successfully created, but the export will end with the "Export failed" message. The error occurs because the cameras without archive didn’t generate the resulting file.

Export is started.
