lifgard 0 Posted October 21, 2009 I am new to this site and am not a technician. However, I am tasked to export footage from a GE Digia II DVR. I exported two .avi files yesterday, however, can't find any programs to view them. I tried Windows Media Player with no luck. I went to GE's website (and spoke with technical services) and they both said download Divx7 and install. I installed Divx and the associated codecs and both the Divx player and Windows MP (with Divx codecs) failed to play the files. I have tried numerous coverters and other video programs with little luck. The GOM program would open the file, but the footage was so fast (and pixelated) that it was useless. But, at least if proved that the footage was contained in the files. Anyone know the trick to get .avi files from the Digia II to work??? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted October 21, 2009 Hi lifgard did you take the footage off from the usb ??? the best way would be to hook your digia up to your local network it gives you the option on formats to save to Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lifgard 0 Posted October 22, 2009 Thanks. I did use a USB flashdrive. Unfortunatly, the DVR is at an off-site and we are not so advanced as to be able to connect it to the network. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tweak'e 0 Posted October 22, 2009 ffdshow can decode most avi files. otherwise try videoLAN as it tends to handle broken or odd video a bit better than most windows codecs do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michelangelo 0 Posted November 2, 2009 What firmware do you have in the Digia2 ? Try exporting as .dga instead, that should work excellent with the Digia player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
