Amped FIVE Direct Preview from DVR Examiner

Reading time: 2 min

Direct Preview in Amped FIVE from the DVR HDD Application, DVR Examiner, now means a seamless workflow between the two products.

Native data recovery from DVR HDD’s can be a tricky business. DVR Examiner, by DME Forensics, can take a lot of this pain away.

When viewing a directly attached (write blocked) HDD, or a forensic disk image, if the file system is supported, all the clips will be viewable.

Right clicking a clip brings up various options. Under Preview With.. you will now see Amped FIVE as a choice.

This will load the file directly into an Amped FIVE new chain. No need to already have the software open, the link will do that for you!

By moving back into DVR Examiner, if you previewed another clip, this would simply load into a new chain.
