Longshot MPEG-TS playback

[linuxknight]

Greetings, I have been working on viewing a MPEG-PS clip sent to me by one of my clients, the file extension is PSX but it is not a playstation save file - rather a fisheye lense dome video from some camera system. I suspect its requires a proprietary player but unfortunately I dont know any details of the system this clip came from. This forum has been really helpful as far as various viewers and some ffmpeg commands to attempt for conversion. I've tried to open the clip with Potplayer, MPC-HC, VLC without decent results. I will say MPC-HC will open it but only the top 1/3rd of the video is viewable while the bottom 2/3rds are green artifacts. Additionally I've tried avidemux, but it errors upon file open with a "cannot find a demuxer" dialog.

Mediainfo returns the following:

Open to any ffmpeg suggestions or players that could possibly open this?
Thank you in advance

Well, as you would probably know, mpeg-PS should default to Mpeg-2 (or maybe Mpeg-1) whereas Mpeg-TS could have AVC as you appear to have (true I could be wrong with this basic appraisal)

But if this file size is accurate you could simply upload it here as an attachment so that others can appraise it. Of course you may not be inclined to do that should it be in conflict with your 'relationship' with your client. But at this moment you, seemingly, have a useless file.

An Internet search revealed that the PSX file extension may mean these recordings are in a proprietary container used internally by exacqVision video management software. exacVision produces software used for monitoring and recording the output of security cameras.

[Edit] exacVision's software has the ability to export files in familiar video container files but for some reason your client was given files in the software's own proprietary format. You may need to contact exacVision to find out what your options are for converting the file to a standard format.

Try a remux to mp4 or mkv with ProWo's Clever ffmpeg-GUI.

I Mistitled the post, but its definitely an MPEG-PS. Unfortunately its for a legal case, and quite graphic otherwise I would share. Does the fact part of the video plays perfectly fine indicate its corrupt? Please see attached.

Holy smokes, what term did you search for?! I had been poking around on google for a bit yesterday and didnt find this! Thank you so much, they have a video player client download on their website that allowed mp4 export. This did the trick!

I used "psx file extension" for my search. "https://file.org/extension/psx", which mentioned exacVision, was the second link returned by the search.
