Using Your Video with the Oracle Video Server
Oracle Video Server Quick Start 17
Using mdscopy
If your encoded video is to be copied into the MDS from a CD-ROM or removable
hard drive, use the mdscopy utility.
This example copies the file yourvideo.mpg from the current host directory into the
MDS volume video:
UNIX
% mdscopy ./yourvideo.mpg /mds/video
Windows NT
C:> mdscopy .\yourvideo.mpg /mds/video
For further information on mdstar and mdscopy, refer to the Oracle Video Server
Administrator’s Guide and Command Reference.
Task 3. Registering Content Files
For each content file loaded into the MDS, you must register the file with the MDS
and the database (if available). When you register a content file with the MDS, you
generate a tag file which the MDS stores with the content file. Tag files contain
important video information, such as encoding rate, time length, and data used for
rate-control operations (seek forward, seek backward, pause) that the client
application uses when accessing the video content file.
When registering content, be sure to specify the
.mpi
file extension for the tag file.
Registering MPEG Files
This example registers the MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group) file
yourvideo.mpg, giving the extension .mpi to the tag file:
% vstag /mds/video/yourvideo.mpg /mds/video/yourvideo.mpi
Converting and Registering AVI Files
To play AVI (Audio Video Interleaved) files from the Oracle Video Server, you must
convert them to Oracle Streaming Format (OSF) files, which are optimized for
streaming.
This example converts and registers the AVI file yourvideo.avi in the local file
system and copies it to the MDS volume video:
C:> vsmkosf ./yourvideo.avi /mds/video/yourvideo
