Hi,
I just purchased and installed a Samsung DVR (SRD-1670DC-2TB) and seem to have everything configured and dialed in as I like, however I am having a problem with the backup feature.
If I backup to the .SEC file format, I seem to be locked into Samsung's dedicated viewer app to watch the video on my Win7 PC. I'd much rather use a standard format I can more easily share with others, so I tried backing up to AVI (the DVR offers SEC or AVI backup). Trouble is, the AVI file produced by the DVR doesn't play in QuickTime, Windows Media Player, or other viewers I downloaded. The entire video is black.
What am I missing here? Is this AVI file in some special CCTV format that I must first convert to a 'normal' AVI?
Also, if this is simply a bug in the DVR backup feature I suppose I can just use the .SEC format and convert it to AVI, however I can't find any SEC -> AVI converters. Does anyone know of one I can download?
Appreciate any help you can give me...
-Barry
