Hi,

How could I export Milestone video to mp4 format? According SDK documentation it is possible.

I searched through all documentation for mp4 export toolkit, looked at all samples did not find how to do that.​

​

​What exporting toolkits I found:

​There is MKV Export Toolkit, which exports into Matroska format.

​Media Storage Export Toolkit, which exports to database.

Milestone Platform Still Image Export Toolkit, which exports to jpeg files.​

​

​What export toolkit should I use to export to mp4 file?

​

Please take a look at the ComponentSamples/ExportSample - it can export to an AVI file.

Thank you for your answer. I had a look at AVI exporter, which is default, how could it help me to export to mp4 file?

Sorry, you are correct - the MKV exporter need to be used to get H.264 (MPEG4) output. It will though also require that the original video feed from the camera is H.264. We do not have an Encoding to H.264 function (the doc you found is incorrect - sorry)

I guess there is no way to export to mp4 file without External conversion tool?

well, as far as I understand it, MKV is mp4 format …

.mkv and .mp4 files are in different container formats. .mkv!=.mp4, MKV does adhere to the MP4 standard…

OK, thanks

No change, MKV, AVI and Milestone are still the three formats supported by export.
