Hi,

I want to post a recording to my YouTube account. When I down the file from my dahua NVR and play on PC it works with sound. When I download the video to my phone, it works with sound. However when I upload the .dav file to YouTube it doesn't have sound.

What's the best way to get sound working please?
Convert to another file format or can I resave the file as another file type?

Please help.

Convert it to a .MP4 file, that's the best format for YouTube.

Thanks

I've discovered that if I save the video to my android phone (lg g6) and then upload it to YouTube from the phone, I get sound.

Maybe the app saves it as MP4 when downloading to phones. Eitherway I hope this might help others.

Incase I want to share from the NVR, in the future, can anyone recommend a good .dav to MP4 converter? Even better if it's free

I can only advice SmartPSS which can same in .asf, .avi, "original format (I suspect .dav)" and .MP4!
