Strange format .AVH , how to play it on computer , see video

[vwrafi 0]

Hello. I have got a standalone DVR. It records in strange format ( H264 ) .AVH. It creates hundreds of files, each one is 122MB and contains 6 minutes of footage. When I want to play this footage on computer with a player that came with it, I need to load manualy files one after other. So I watch 6 minutes of video, then I need to open another file to watch another 6 minutes of videos. Is there any other player that will play .AVH ( .AVD ) files automatically ? I've uploaded the player ( ClientSotware->Playback.exe ) and 2 videos ( in VIDEOS folder ) to megaupload so you can download them and see if there is any chance to play it with other sotware

The original video files will only be playable with the supplied video player. You can convert the original video via the player by pressing the avi button. This will convert it to a standard avi file that will play in most players, provided you have an avi codec installed (which most new players do).

 

The factory codec is supplied in the ClientSoftware but it will only work on your AVH player.

Yes, I now that, but those videos are only 6 minutes long, that is the problem. If I would like to see the footage from the month period, I will have to convert thousands of 6 minutes clips, which is very uncomfortable. I've heard, that there is a software called UniVue ( universal CCTV player ), that will play any of DVR format, but i can not find this software in net.

Probably motion detection recorded video?

There is no universal DVR recorded video player .. they mostly all use different proprietary codecs so there is no way for a single player to be able to supply all of those.

No, I did not turn on video detection. I called to the service and they told me that this is just the way it is. Recorder creates 122MB files which is about 6 minutes from 4 cameras 12fps.

 

So I will gonna sell my recorder and buy new one. Is there any DVR on the market that will allow me to record my footage to external hard drive ( USB or eSata ) but without any length limits ? Or any DVR that come with software that will allow me to play the footage on my computer in one go ?
