MacOS X (intel, 32 and 64 bit) – Evermeet.cx. I did however find it rather confusing to find a pre-compiled versions for specific platforms. You can find ffmpeg for several platforms on the ffmpeg homepage. The second option is to convert the QNAP Surveillance Video Recordings to a different format, and here the free ffmpeg is very helpful. Option 2 – Convert the recording to a different Video Format Finally click “ Change FourCC” which fixes all AVI’s in the list rather quickly, even for files on network shares.Īfter this procedure your AVI files will play just fine with for example VideoLAN VLC. Click the “ Fix QNAP Recording” button to set the correct FourCC codes. Click “ Make a Backup“, which is optional but recommended since the original files will be modified. Add files to the list (Click “ Select Video Files” or use Drag and Drop). Often they lack the detailed information we see with VideoLAN VLC.ĪVI FourCC Fix – FourCC changer for most platforms Other media players will give error messages as well, or simply do nothing at all. Notice the ‘ VLC does not support the audio or video format “qIVG”.‘ message, where qIVG is the so called FourCC of the video stream. When you try to open one of the QNAP Surveillance Video Recordings, you will most likely get an error message, as for example in VideoLAN VLC as seen below.

Previous versions did not require the expensive license, and the latest versions come with only one courtesy license. Note : QNAP got the annoying idea to request purchase of licenses for each camera connected to your QNAP. You probably already know this, the recordings of Surveillance Station can be found in the “Recordings” share on your QNAP, where you will find AVI files of the recordings that have been made, depending on your settings of course.
