Hi guys! We have the same problem. I had an AVTECH KPD674B that we changed the hard drive in. Now we have a 1TB hard drive with the AVTECH recorded videos in it. This new hard drive has been formatted for windows (the AVTECH hard drive was, I believe, formatted with Unix). I asked a computer company to extract the files for me and put it into a normal SATA-hard drive that I could mount in my external SATA hard drive dock and connect with a USB-cable to any computer for easy access. Now I have all the survaillance files available, almost 1TB. The configuration of the files in the hard drive is as follows: First there are folders with dates, YYYYMMDD Inside that, there is an audio and a video folder Within those folders there are numbered folders, e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4 Within those folders, there are files, varying in size, mainly named "stream" in the file format. There is also a db-file etc. The stream file format is used both for the video files and the audio files. I have not found a player that will play the *.stream file format. I have opened a stream-video-file with notepad to see if I can get any clues on what sort of file it is, but it looks encrypted, all of it. I have tried to open it with VLC, WMP, Quicktime player etc., but no luck. Also tried renaming the file format to avi and mpg, mpeg etc. with no luck. What puzzles me is that the system is completely keeping video file and audio file seperated in different folders, and also in different folder configurations. E.g. when I am looking at a specific date, I might have only one video folder (nbr. 1) but four audio folders (1, 2, 3, 4). The video folder in that case contains 10 video files and each of the audio folders contain 10 audio files, so 10 video files total and 40 audio files. I don't get it. How are they supposed to be synced? Looks more like an effort to complicate things and make specifically this type of recovery/backup operation impossible, rather than being the most optimal solution for the product itself. Has anyone gotten more progress with this?
