Hi James, What is the Brand & Model of the Security Camera you are using? "h.264" is the file extension on files you get when you put a thumb drive directly into some Security units and tell it to offload files. Some people use the explorer plug-in over the internet, it will download these files and you can watch them immediately through the plug-in, and it gives you the option to output them as .avi files. But, it seems that the internet explorer plug-in only works on a P. Do you have Windows installed on any Mac, or a Windows computer that you could try it on? "You can backup on a USB flash drive and then save to a Mac but it needs the PC only software to play any recorded files. On a PC you can then convert the files to an AVI File and then play on any PC or Mac."
