I am actually using continuous recording. So when pull the video files off they are usually broken up in to hourly events. Say I download the .dav file to a computer or USB drive in original .dav format it downloads in one continuations file and I can play it back using the Player app. It only breaks it up in snippets when converting into an .avi format.
I have used the .dav to avi converter in the past and it worked flawlessly on an analog DVR system file. The only difference here is I am now using an NVR with HD IP cams and these hour long recordings are about 2.5GB's each. I am curious if the files size has anything to do with it... I don't see why it would matter but who knows? Has anyone else tried converting large .dav files into .avi?
