kitt1993 0 Posted June 4, 2013 Hello, Hopefully this is the correct place for this post... Is there a software out there that will let me edit DVR video? I have a Zmodo brand DVR and when I download it to my PC, I have to use the AVI Generator to convert it. How ever, when I try to edit it in Windows Movie Maker, it doesn't recognize it. Also, is there any software that will let me FF 16x? Window Media Player only goes 2x.. Thanks in advance, Bryan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kitt1993 0 Posted June 5, 2013 Just remember any edited video will be useless in court. When you say edited, you mean if I take a 45 sec clip form a hour long block? Also, does any one know where to get a real good outdoor microphone? I wan to add them to my network. Looking for around 5 of them. Bryan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

henrybeet 0 Posted June 8, 2013 Adobe Premiere Pro is the way to go /awkward rhyme is awkward I think simple editing (like cutting a certain clip out of a long video) would be okay but you should preserve the original video just in case. As for the microphones, follow Kawboy12R’s link. But why not upgrade your CCTV cameras to record sound as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will probably think I'm crazy, but I bought a Netrome setup years ago and when I upgraded to Zmodo, I kept the old cameras in place as I found they had waaaaaaaay more viewing angle. The zmodo cameras would only view about 30% at the same location as the Netrome. So I now have 20 netrome cameras along the side of my building. IMO They are a better quality. I can even take then apart to waterproof them. But thats the reason I don't get cameras with Mics in them. Bryan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shockwave199 0 Posted June 19, 2013 Just remember any edited video will be useless in court. When you say edited, you mean if I take a 45 sec clip form a hour long block? Bryan Are you sure there is no utility in the software management that can do this? Can you search footage by time, rather than file? Does your dvr have software besides just a web interface? Usually CMS type software has more ability than just web interfaces- some even having clip edit built in. So if editing short clips from large files is what you need, make sure you absolutely don't have anything available right in your system software. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have called up zmodo many times asking about different issues, and I always ask if there is a video editing software available. They say no, and they "never heard of that". Its weird. Yea, I jut want something real simple to clip video and then add all the clips I want together.. That's all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hardwired 0 Posted June 22, 2013 Try using Handbrake to convert the AVI into a format compatible with Windows Movie Maker. Virtualdub might work for you as an editor, also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cricket 0 Posted July 1, 2013 Hello, Also, is there any software that will let me FF 16x? Window Media Player only goes 2x.. Thanks in advance, Bryan It should be able to FF faster than 2x in most cases. (up to 16x on Win7) When running WMP, right click on the video, enhancement, play speed. Note the max FF speed depends on the video file (codec/format) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paavo 0 Posted July 9, 2013 Try using Handbrake to convert the AVI into a format compatible with Windows Movie Maker. Virtualdub might work for you as an editor, also. + 1 Handbrake. Windows Movie Maker accepts .wmv and .mp4 file well. If that don't get what you want to get, then use AppGeeker video converter. See: http://www.ilikemall.com/how-to/convert-avi-to-mp4-mac.html Once they are mp4 they will then run on your WMM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
