<div>'''MxPEG''' is an audio and video codec developed by [http://www.mobotix.com Mobotix]<br />
<br />
VLC supports this codec '''since version 2.0.1''' on all platforms (Windows, Mac & Linux) making use of its implementation in ffmpeg. In contrast to the official [http://www.mobotix.com/other/Support/Software-Downloads/MxPEG-DirectShow/MxPEG-DirectShow-Codec-1.0 MxPEG DirectShow codec for Windows], that supports mxg video recordings, or the official [http://www.mobotix.com/eng_US/Support/Software-Downloads/MxPEG-ActiveX/MxPEG-ActiveX-1.5.1.1 MxPEG ActiveX plugin], that requires the Microsoft Internet Explorer (only available for Microsoft Windows), VLCs ffmpeg implementation is fully cross-plattform compatible.<br />
<br />
While mxg video files are auto-detected, live streams require VLC to be run with the option ''ffmpeg-format=mxg'' because ffmpeg does not auto-detect mxg codec in live streams.<br />
<br />
== Usage Examples ==<br />
<br />
=== mxg recordings ===<br />
<br />
Simply open the file with VLC.<br />
<br />
=== Live-Streams ===<br />
