What can display the .dav or .mp4 files downloaded from the web interface of an IPC-HDW5831R-ZE ?

VLC can't and gives and error about the "hev1" codec which I think is H.265. Smart Player will partially display them but the video skips around with a green screen much of the time --same with Media Player. The exported .mp4 files played in Win10 app "Movies 7 TV" just displays a still image for the duration.

I count on having the SD data when something goes wrong with my network or my NVR. Is this a common problem with H.265 ? Ideally I would want to hand these files over with a stand-alone viewer that doesn't have to be installed like my Hanwha cameras --but that can be for another day.
