@feral venture just to get this explanation out of the way
AVI and MP4 are just containers, they don't tell you much about what's actually inside (like the codec and stuff)

#

now, why do you need to make it an mp4?

feral venture Oct 22, 2022, 1:44 PM

#

I cant see the video

#

rich dirge Oct 22, 2022, 1:45 PM

#

all I can say to that is to not use a dumb media player like the one included with windows

#

is the file size "normal"? As in, not 0kb?

feral venture Oct 22, 2022, 1:45 PM

#

yes, tried also with VLC player

rich dirge Oct 22, 2022, 1:46 PM

#

VLC doesn't play it? Now that's odd

#

can you upload the file somewhere? like google drive or idk

#

or here, if it fits

#

imma check it out

#

that is, if you don't mind

feral venture Oct 22, 2022, 1:47 PM

#

this is example bc the file I wanted is 300mb

#

rich dirge Oct 22, 2022, 1:51 PM

#

alright, mine won't play it either

#

that's odd

#

let's see what mediainfo says

#

it doesn't see it as a video file at all

#

wtf

feral venture Oct 22, 2022, 1:56 PM

#

yes very strange

rich dirge Oct 22, 2022, 1:56 PM

#

feral venture Oct 22, 2022, 1:57 PM

#

no but in this sd card I have some videos that does works

rich dirge Oct 22, 2022, 1:59 PM

#

#

the file is just corrupted

feral venture Oct 22, 2022, 2:03 PM

rich dirge Oct 22, 2022, 2:04 PM

feral venture Oct 22, 2022, 2:07 PM

I discovered today that I was powering off the goggles before stopping recording. After doing the the dvr would no longer start recording. I plugged sd card into pc and I could see .mov files but vlc would not play them. I did not get any errors or warinings VLC simply would quit the file. After stoping the recording before powering off goggles everything now works. Oh yea I also noticed I could not format the sd card via the goggles system menu. It may also been due to me shutting off before stopping recording.
