^^^^^I just use smartpss and export directly to MP4.
It shouldn't matter if you record in just motion, if you use smartpss you could just export the clips in MP4.The Issue us that I record on motion. I already have .dav files and they are a pain to work with. I can’t forward them to anyone first, as they need to be converted.
Ok. And how would build automations on top of that Levin? More importantly on Linux? Weird that your are being hostile towards people who looking for alternative solutions.
I would like to take issue with "standard" mp4 because the mp4 files from smartPss do not play on either my win7 or win10 system. Audio is ok, no video. The smartPss mp4 does play on my linux box. This is why I go from dav->avi>mp4 (via handbrake) because those files do play on windows. Is there some nonstandard codec that windows needs?I replied that smartpss does write out standard mp4 files.
Ok i'll take back my comment about "standard" mp4s. I'm not 100% on what codec dahua uses for their files but using VLC to playback the mp4 works fine on my computers. I set my cameras to record with h265 and i decided to grab a short clip from my camera and take a look at it with media info and this is what it saysI would like to take issue with "standard" mp4 because the mp4 files from smartPss do not play on either my win7 or win10 system.
