hello Ronni
it's a kingwave kw3290 recorder which is sold as oem/rebranded dv recorder, it has 'darkside' software included
a while ago i "inherited' a pc-laptop which is now running the player
for the time being i can backup a by time or event selected sequence (6fps) & the player does play it back, there also i can do a snap shot of a selected frame & save it as .bmp which in turn is viewable/ printabe on a mac, how to export to .avi i have to investigate more
thanks for the reply, which was actually quite spot on
to use internet explorer i need direct-x to install......on the pc

this is the whole file name:
cam01-20100206-101743.h264
it's from a security camera recorder & gets produced when you copy a sequence of frames to a memory stick for picture printing or for the police to view, according the manual it supposed to be a h264 coded file, the recording unit has not much to choose the format, but i'm looking once more into that

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."

Cheers,
Ronni
