Compression of video from video cameras

QTM can compress the video recording during the capture of video data. To activate the compression for a video camera, right-click in the view of that camera in a 2D view window. Then click on Choose video compression and select the codec you want to use. You have to select the codec you want individually for each video camera that is used in the capture. For more information about recommended codecs, see chapter Recommended codecs.

The codec settings for individual cameras can be changed by choosing Video compression settings from the menu after right-clicking in the video view. This will open the settings for the currently selected codec.

Since QTM uses standard Microsoft DirectShow routines for video playback, the video can be compressed after it has been captured as well.
