Doom9's Forum - View Single Post - Question about NVMS and MP4 (DVR video files)

I have a file that was taken from a customer DVR they installed and it claims to be a .MP4 file, yet will not work with any player that I have tested. However, the file does play in the included "MP4" player from Zmodo.

I have uploaded an example "MP4" and the Zmodo player software (210 MB) to:

http://www.filedropper.com/mp4player

Link to Zmodo Page with software under SAN4, SAN8, SBN4,SBN8, SBN6: http://kb.zmodo.com/index.php?action...=29&artlang=en

Could anyone help me figure out why it doesn't play in VLC or other real player and how to convert it to a real MP4? These types of files are common throughout the cheap chinese dvrs available on the market. It would be nice to have a way to view these files without having to download the individual "player" from each vendor.

Thank you.
