Media Server 24.1

# Format

The format of the video source.

In most cases Media Server automatically detects the video format, but you must set this parameter to ingest raw video formats such as MJPEG, that have no container.

You can set this parameter to one of the following values:

- `avi`
- `asf`
- `flv`
- `gif`
- `h264`
- `hls`
- `mjpeg`
- `mpegts`

To ingest video from a video capture card that supports DirectShow, set this parameter to `dshow`. (You can use this value only on Windows platforms).

Type: | String
Default: |
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | TaskName
Example: | `Format=mpegts`
