RE: Converting CCTV files

[Paul Gale <groups2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It might possibly be a custom CODEC that they use - I'd try playing in
something like VLC first to see if it plays. If not, you might have to try
and get hold of the CODEC to be able to decode it.

If you're struggling, feel free to send me a small sample and I'll see if I
can play it in any of the tools / editors I have here.

Subject: [ukha_d] Converting CCTV files

Hi All,

I need to convert some CCTV footage from the format used by the box to
something more common. The box saves footage as *.avc files along with a
*.grp and a *.idx files - the latter two are about 10% of the size of the
main *.avc file.

Wikipedia says the avc format is "H.264/MPEG-4" but I can't find
anything to play or convert it, other than the software that came with the
kit. This allows conversion to avi but once complete, that file doesn't
play either!

Any clues / recommendations?

Many thanks,
Tim.
