reo11100 0 Posted June 4, 2011 I have a VisorTech DVR4004 and the USB backup video format is .VVF (.V V F) The problem is it is totally unrecognisable by any mac or pc player, cd/dvd burner. It is impossible to make CD/DVD copies of securtiy video footage for the police. I guess I could record from the TV out on a VHS in real time, but I tossed mine about 10 years ago! I looked at everything on the net No luck. i have asked the comany I purchased it from PEARL.fr as well as the MFG, no joy. I'm ready to return it for my money back but what can replace it?

tesc_cctvpro 0 Posted June 4, 2011 When presented with a proprietary video format that can only be decoded by a proprietary player - are you not less vulnerable to questions about video integrity? Of course I can see the value of AVI, etc in the presence of the original proprietary clip - for the sake of simplicity, but would the AVI clip not need be validated by referencing the proprietary video from it's own player in many cases.

reo11100 0 Posted June 5, 2011 I really don't care what the format is, I just want to make a CD or DVD of the security video footage from the USB backup key or drive. .vvf is not recongnised as a viable format on any of the six or seven converter or BURNER sofwares I have downloaded. All say they can work with .vvf but none actually do. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

reo11100 0 Posted June 6, 2011 I have not heard or see any post of a successful transfere of .VVF to any usable, popular video format. Just for a test change a video to a .vvf extension. If your software works one way, it should work both ways. So see if you can convert any video to.vvf. If so the program should convert .vvf to ?

reo11100 0 Posted June 6, 2011 Okay, what's a good 4ch DVR? I can collect the TV video out in real time to some sort of video recorder, but I have lots of hours that I want to share on DVD or CD even youtube. So I buy this gizzmo that fools the DVR into thinking it's a USB, down load it to my computer then What? I still end up with .vvf on my PC. I can do that now with a USB key. It's the .vvf part that's a drag to deal with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the .vvf part that's a drag to deal with. hi yes you can just convert the footage from your dvr to video. and it has been done by many with your problem over the years. the problem is who uses a video now. the gizzmo will not send your fottage to your pc as vvf. it will be a file that you can use and convert to media. the gizzmo is just a cheap usb cctv recorder. one of the chanels goes to your dvr monitor output and you plug the usb into your pc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gregsy 0 Posted March 21, 2015 I have the Vx4SL Player software and after a lot of fiddling around I realised that it can convert from .vvf to .avi files. I found a freeware page that provides this software http://vx4slplayer.software.informer.com/ I am unable to vouch for the actual download but I can say that this software does convert as I've managed to do it to provide CCTV footage to the police. Hope this helps someone as I spent ages looking online without realising this software does what I needed it to, d'uh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
