Supported Media

MixEmergency supports mixing and scratching1 of a range of files playable in Quicktime. It is recommended that you extensively test your media files before performing live to avoid any unforeseen issues.

Video Files

MixEmergency officially supports and recommends the following video container formats: avi, m4v, mov, mp4, mpeg, mpg and the following video codecs: H.264, Motion JPEG A, Motion JPEG B, MPEG-4.

A limited range of other containers and formats will load1 and play2, but are not recommended for optimal performance and so are not officially supported (e.g. 3gp, dv, divx, xvid, vob, m2v, flv).

1 May require third party codecs to be installed.
2 Several formats are unable to be cached by MixEmergency, and so are not recommended if you require video to be scratched.
