			{{Codec video}}

	~~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.		'''MxPEG''' is an audio and video codec developed by Mobotix.

	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.		VLC supports this codec '''since version 2.0.1''' through [[FFmpeg]] on Windows, macOS and GNU/Linux.

			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 the mxg codec in live streams.
