what DVR and what does it record in (mpeg4, mjpeg etc) ?

 

does the DVR give an optoin to output to avi, mpeg, mov file?

 

if the DVR records in a fairly standard codec then it can be readable. but if its a proprietary codec then highly likly only the DVR software will read it.

Some DVR suppliers supply converters!

The only media player that might play them (but probably not) is VLC Media Player.

Many of the EM-DVR are record in H.264. Try to use this converter. http://cqax.meibu.com/Download/Converter/H.264toAVI(WMV)Converter(V2.0).zip

Sorry, my link is not very good. You have to copy the whole, from"http" to ".zip".

same as the above.. can you ellaborate on what format the file is saved as.. if you dvr is fairly up to date its either going to be mpeg4 or h264,, codecs for both of these are freely available. and will play with wmp or vlc

 

to elimiate any issues with your pc try installing the codecs on an alternative pc and try playing your file... most dvr manufacturers or suppliers do provide a standalone player for there software.. and within the standalone player you can convert the file to avi...
