# OutputPath

The path of the output file. The file format is determined by the extension, unless overridden by the Format parameter. If Segment is set to `true`, and the path does not contain a macro, the file name is automatically suffixed with the segment number.

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

If you set the parameter OutputURL (to stream video) this parameter is ignored.

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