I just installed the digital viewer for my 250x. The viewer allows me to take photos and time lapse but not video. When I try to record video I get the error message: “Unable to create compressed stream: Check your CODEC options”. This happened on my Lenova Windows 10 and my Panasonic Windows 7.

If it is properly installed, you should be able to verify this from your “Apps & Features” control panel in Windows. It should look something like this:
