Samsung backup help needed

Recommended Posts

Samsung DVR SRD-470D

 

Last week I backed up some footage onto an external hard drive, so that I could examine it at home. It's in .BU & .DB2 format. Will not play on PC with VLC in any Demux mode. It will not play in Amped Five. Isn't recognised in any video conversion software. Have even tried MKV Toolnix GUI.

 

What are my options? Can I reload it back on the DVR and back up again as an AVI?

 

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Samsung’s .bu file can only be viewed by playing them back in the dvr that they were exported from. You can’t upload them back to the dvr as the dvr only exports footage.

 

Samsung did release a .bu to avi converter but in my experience it is very unreliable and glitches a lot especially if you have a lot of footage to play.

 

If the footage is still available on the dvr then you can export it as a .sec ( comes as a .exe with player) or a .avi
