How To Play USB200 Videos on a Windows PC

The MediCap USB200 saves video in the widely used MPEG-2 format. This is the same high-quality format used on DVD disks.

Microsoft Windows Media Player (included with your Windows computer) does not play MPEG-2 videos by default (this is because Microsoft has not entered into a licensing agreement with the owners of MPEG-2 patents). However, the upgrade required to play MPEG-2 videos may already be installed on your computer (it may have been installed at some point along with other video programs). To check, try playing several videos recorded with the USB200. If the videos play, then your current configuration is OK. If the videos do not play, you need to install either of these two solutions:

CHOICE 1) You can install a free add-on that allows you to play your USB200 videos with Microsoft Windows Media Player. Click Here

OR

CHOICE 2) You can install VLC Player. This free player is an alternative to Microsoft Windows Media Player. It plays most video formats used on Windows computers, including MPEG-2. VLC player is available here.

Note that VLC Player is released by an open source group which is not affiliated with MediCapture Inc. If you need support for VLC Player, please refer to the support page maintained by the VLC open source group.
