Nowhere near enough info here...

 

What DVR?

What type of file?

If a Windows-based DVR, did you "Eject media" before removing the flash drive?

What's giving you the error message - did the DVR include its own player with the footage?

Most DVR's use their own format (usually some variation on one of the standard formats) to make them proprietary and include a special player to play the video. Make sure you're using the proper player or you won't have any luck.

 

This isn't meant to make things difficult on the end users, but it's to make sure nobody could tamper with the video if the case gets taken to court. If someone could have tampered with it, it wouldn't hold up as evidence.
