.exe file extension for recording backup

Recommended Posts

Both Speco Technologies and Hanwha Techwin/Wisenet are using .exe as a choice to save recordings. .exe is an MS executable, not a media format. Why on earth are they doing this?

The other choice is the 31 year old, grossly outdated Windows 3.1 .avi format which I understand was a good recording format quality wise at the time.. Now it's not and the files are reported to be HUGE! Why aren't they using .mp4 or even .mkv which is open source?

Hi AVI is used widely still in the industry and both speci and Samsung still use it

in both its still standard when backing up files 

MAS far as going open source software then footage in courts can’t be used … police also won’t load footage on the computer networks by using a open source

Software? .mp4 and .mkv are codec containers for recording formats.

Anyway, what does that have to do with the recordings being used or not used in court?
