Recommend DAV to MP4 Converter, Please
I’m sure it’s here in multiple places, but a search in the forum isn’t working for me. I have a Starlight SD49225T-HN and love it, but would like to convert some DAV files to MP4. Dahua’s ToolBox has proven impossible for me to access. What’s with signing in, anyway? All of my attempts fail.
When I do a Web search for the converter I’m kind of leery of the results. Would appreciate a recommendation or two of converters that have worked well for members.

Getting the hang of it
Hi Dave, you can use Dahua’s SmartPSS software to export your recorded DAV video format files to whichever format you prefer; AVI, MP4 etc. Here is how you do it. https://dahuawiki.com/SmartPSS/Backup

I would also like to have this information. Having to sign into an account to use the toolbox is a bunch of crap. I’ve tried exporting mp4 from smartPss a few times, and the windows 7 player won’t play it.

What version of Windows Media Player are you using? Windows Media Player 11 and early versions do not support MP4 by default unless you install the CODECS, you can download and install the CODECS here: Windows | Official Site for Microsoft Windows 10 Home & Pro OS, laptops, PCs, tablets & more
Windows Media Player 12 supports MP4 by default.

Or you could install the VLC player.

Good info but didn’t work for me. I’ve got media player 12, and it plays other mp4s that I have. With an older version smartPss mp4, the media player says it doesn’t understand the format and maybe I need a codec. With an mp4 from my current version 2.01.0 of smartPss, the video player just displays its big musical note while advancing through the timeline. Maybe I need an even newer smartPss? I couldn’t find anyplace where the media player will display its version. I had to go to the exe file properties to find it.

Try Smart PSS version 2.02.0

I get the same musical note display in media player with Smart PSS version 2.02.0 mp4 and avi. At least I’m on the latest smartPss now, so not totally wasted time.

Hey guys, I started a thread over here (DAV converter command line), but was wondering if any of the previous contributors to this thread know of any command line tools to convert DAVs?

I have found an easy way to do this, that also preserves the audio. Download the newest version of FFmpeg. Then run one of these commands. Couldn’t be simpler.
DAV to MP4:
ffmpeg -y -i video.dav -vcodec libx264 -crf 24 -movflags +faststart video.mp4
DAV to AVI (quickest method):
ffmpeg -y -i video.dav -vcodec copy -movflags +faststart video.avi
