# OutputPath

The path, file name, and file extension for the output files. If the directory does not exist, Media Server creates it.

The output file format is determined by the extension, unless overridden by the Format parameter. To respect the file format specified in the input record, use the macro `%record.ImageData.format%` as the file extension.

Specify an absolute path, or a path relative to the Media Server executable file.

You can use macros to create output paths. For more information about macros, see Macros.

    OutputPath=./image_encode/%record.starttime.timestamp%.%record.ImageData.format%
Alternatively, you can choose the output format by specifying a file extension:
    OutputPath=./image_encode/%record.starttime.timestamp%.jpg
