Select video playback files

Video file 1..4

The Video Playback preferences window allows you to specify up to 4 video files. These may be typed directly into each of the 4 edit boxes (full directory path and file name required), or you can browse to the required video file by selecting the browse “…” button.

The order the videos are specified, is the order they will be played.

Video’s in the file formats .avi, .mpg & .mpeg are supported.

Sample test videos with different file formats and video compression are available from the PassMark Web site. To automatically register four samples video files within BurnInTest (rather than typing them in manually) please follow the following steps:

1.Download the videos from the PassMark website.
2.Copy the files into the BurnInTest directory.
3.If you have set up other test video files in preferences, delete these from within Preferences, Video Playback, by simply highlighting the text in each edit box and pressing delete on your keyboard.
4.Exit BurnInTest
5.Start BurnInTest

If  these PassMark Video sample files exist in the BurnInTest directory, you will now see these are configured in Preferences, Video Playback.

Steps 3 & 4 can be skipped if no video files have been previously configured in BurnInTest, Preferences, Video Playback.

If the PassMark video samples are not installed in the BurnInTest directory. BurnInTest will attempt to find the Microsoft Windows “Clock.avi” video, and configure this as Video file number 1.
