Playing USB200 Videos on Your Apple Computer

The USB200 saves video in the industry's highest quality format, MPEG-2. This format provides "DVD quality video" and is the format most often preferred for medical applications.

Apple's Quicktime and Quicktime Pro players do not play MPEG-2 videos by default. The add-on required to play these videos may already be installed on your computer. To check, try playing several videos captured with the USB200. If the videos play, then your configuration is OK and you can skip the procedures below. If the videos do not play, you need to install either of these two solutions:

You can install an add-on to the Quicktime and Quicktime Pro players. This add-on allows you to play MPEG-2 videos using Quicktime and Quicktime Pro. It is available from Apple at their online store.

           OR

You can install VLC Player. This free player is an alternative to Quicktime and Quicktime Pro. It plays most video formats used on Apple computers, including MPEG-2. VLC Player is available here.
