Avi Codec G264

[stoneringers]

I am trying to look at some CCTV footage. It is an avi file with codec G264.
Does anyone know of a utility that I could use to view it?

vlc media player will play all formats of video.

vlc media player will play all formats of video.

I should have said that I had tried VLC without any success.
It states that it does not support video format G264.

have you tried divx player.

DivX Plus Codec Pack ? DivX codecs for Windows media player | DivX.com (http://www.divx.com/en/software/divx-plus/codec-pack)

if the above does not work try downloading the codec on its own and then try windows media player.

i never heard of a g264 i only know the h.264 mpeg standard and the x264 open source codec project

That is Geovision's proprietary H.264 codec. Google it and you should find it.

Here is the codec you need.

Thanks for the file. I have tried to open it but both winzip and winrar say the file is corrupt

I have downloaded geoCodec.exec from another source and I am now able to view the cctv clip using WMP

The codec I found after googling it worked for me

most CCTV systems I've used, copy the playing software to the disc, at the same time as you copy the image you want.

try real player

how to install it

[johnatayo]

Yes I agree with Dasteph VLC media is your best try. It will play all format or even download and install the plugins for you incase it does not have.

i've downloaded the files from geovision but after installation still cant view..

[cbaxter]

Make sure you downloaded the correct geovisision files. I have found that alot of the site are posting falsely named files to get you to down load their project.

make a copy of it and change the file extension to .avi
see if it plays,
thats what I've been doing to play h.264 files without the codecs. they even stream to my 360.

[EnuTetsujin]

I've installed the codec but am getting an error stating that the server has failed when trying to play in Windows Media and getting a unrecognized G264 error in VLC.
