I've never heard of these type of files, but if you post mediainfo output of these files or post a small sample, we can offer you something.

I stand corrected these are .irf not ivf, they are played with ifileplaypack.exe player, it is a proprietary security camera dvr file format and playback utility.

I am unable to upload you the actual video clip as it is too big as well as the playback utility.

Hope you can work with what I have just posted

Thanks again

Security camera video is often just some other standard format with just a different file name extension. And maybe a disguised fourcc code. See if MediaInfo will identify the container and codecs.

You can try make a short/small sample with makesample. Upload it and someone might be able to identify the headers.

I made a sample of 5 mb but it errd during the file upload, dunno where to go now

any other ideas

Thanks

ps it would just make my security video life easer if I could splice all of the 10 min clips together to have one continous file when I have to submit to law enforcement.

Attached sample file it is .rar'd (like zip) just unrar with winrar and you will have the sample .irf file

Hi guys, well I'm facing the problem NOT with the .irf file but the .ifv, this file type was recorded with a DVR and now i need to convert the file to avi or mpg or any other common file type, please help guys, I was forgeting, I've also tried to make a sample with the sample.exe but the video file is still the same. I hope you can help me, I'm attaching a video

[Selur]

did you try irftool ? (not sure, but it might support .ifv files too)

[ggx4me]

Selur thanks for your answer, but yes I've tried without success. So you guys know if there is another tool for this file type to convert? pls it's very important

[Selur]

Since most of us probably don't have such a file, it would help if you could upload a file which contains more than two frames.
According to the headers it looks like a raw H.264 file, but there are huge empty chunks in it.
-> without a larger sample, no clue if it's just the sample or some proprietary changed stream

Small update, it is a H.264 raw file and can be viewed with DGAVCIndex (or the commercial DGDecNV), but still not sure if the corruption is wanted or not. (the corruption in the stream is the cause why simply renaming it to .264 doesn't help, since most tools will abort at least for such a small file)

[ggx4me]

Ok I'm uploading a bigger file I hope this could help... thanks again.

Use MkvMerge (MMG.EXE) to remux into MKV.

[Selur]

Yup, that should work too, the H.264 parser of mkvtoolnix is quite robust.
(you can also: extract the .264 stream with DGAVCDec, and remux the stream with mp4box to mp4)

[ggx4me]

I'll give it a try thanks a lot Selur...


Update: It went just fine with the mkvtoolnix, thank you so much man you rock!!!
