DVR to MP4 Converter

About This Tool

This tool accepts DVR-format video files from security DVRs or legacy cameras and outputs MP4 videos compatible with common players and editors. It suits security teams, investigators, and home users needing portable DVR footage.
Conceptually, the process is transcoding: the source is decoded, then re-encoded into MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio. The system can preserve timestamps and metadata when requested and supports common DVR containers.
Key differentiators include server-side transcoding to avoid client resource constraints, batch queuing for multiple files, and optional settings for bitrate, resolution, and frame rate. It provides robust error handling for corrupted inputs and does not alter DRM or apply undesired watermarks. The result is widely compatible MP4 suitable for playback, editing, and sharing in professional and home environments.
Use cases cover archival of surveillance footage, exporting clips for investigations, and distributing DVR clips to stakeholders or collaborators; outputs are suitable for media players, editors, and cloud storage.
