  1. Apologies if this is posted in the wrong section of forum. I'll try here first. I've been given some files on CD to re-encode as TV-displayable video for a law firm. All they can tell me is that the files are video taken by a security camera, delivered to the defense, as discovery evidence, by the police. XXX is the case number, which I obviously won't post here. On the CD are three folders, each labelled XXX followed by a number. In each folder is a program, which is named UBPlayer.exe, and associated .dll and .bpl and tbl and cfg files. When run, its interface says USBird Player Version 2.37. The program resembles an old, incomprehensible DOS program, and I have no idea how to make it work. There are onscreen EJECT and FORMAT buttons, which I am afraid to click. There are two sub-folders in each of these folders, labelled 'Codec' and XXX-AM. Inside the Codec folder is an installer for a Lead Codec, named LEADMCMPCodec.exe. The installer requires a password to run, which was kindly provided by the police, even though the codec is of no use with the accompanying files. The other folder, XXX-AM, contains files labelled XXX-AM.001, XXX-AM.IDS, and XXX-AM.RCD. The converter program LEADMCMPCodec.exe installs along with the codec itself will not recognize any of the files. The .RCD files and .IDS files are very small. The .001 files are from 90 to 200 megs, so I assume it contains the video payload. I have looked everywhere online and can find no info about these. I've installed and run every JPEG2000 wavelet reader, and security camera software, and MJPEG codecs I could find, with no success in playing these files. The .001 files are not RARs. I've tried loading the files into Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, Premiere, After Effects, TMPGenc, Riverpast Media Cleaner, Qicktime, and Vegas in desperation. No luck. Calls for clarification made to the police who provided the files are greeted with "It should play in any DVD player you put it in. It plays fine here - whoa, gotta run >slam phone down<". I would assume the police do not wish to be of further help regarding this particular matter. Has anyone here seen this video format?
