M80 Plot Software

By Flywalker
- Wed Jun 08, 2011 6:19 pm #154417 I use the cameras as security cameras and WOW they are awesome. However I have one of my cameras in Plot mode so that it will take a picture every 15 seconds all day. I use a MAC BOOK and cannot view the pics. I noticed moultrie has some special software to view the MTL files but it is only for windows. Anyone know how I can view the Pics on a mac?

I think we are out of luck.

You might see if a free copy of vmware will install on Mac. Within it you can install a copy of Windows XP for example and use it for the windows based software.

I know she makes discs featuring houses she has listed from her MAC .
She has VM Ware installed that has windows XP . However the MAC does not have a slot for mini discs. You need a portable disc player that accepts both mini and full size . She uses a portable disc player that she hooks up to her mac for viewing mini discs and making mini discs.

Major Battery hog though...  I got 9.5 day with lithium batteries and that was also using a moutrie solar panel with the internal battery pack. On regular pic mode with the solar panel and it uses almost no batteries at all... FYI

Download and install a free program called VLC media player at http://www.videolan.org/. Then right click the MLT files and select Open With> Other.

Then at the bottom where is says "Enable:" select (All Applications) and also check the (Always Open With) box. Now in the list of applications double click VLC. Now whenever you double click a MLT file it will play it in VLC.

You can even use the application to export your movie to other types of files.

Another option is to change the file extension to .avi and it will open with quicktime.
