help with DVR footage exported to USB with a .DAT and .IDX

[jfish 0]

A friend of mine had a robbery recently and the police have requested the footage on a DVD so they can view it.

 

I have gone over, the box is a generic one with DVR H.264 on front - no other info on make or model of the box. This is a 4 camera setup.

 

One front it has 2 USB port - the bottom has a mouse symbol where a mouse is plugged in. There are some buttons on front with left/right up/down and a centre button like a return key

 

I have managed to export the footage to a USB drive and I get 2 files a .DAT file and .IDX file.

 

I have ran the DAT file thru Media Info and get this
