Cheers.

what I think it is a dvr file from CCTV dvr recorder that you have to convert to avi, mpeg or any other format so that you can play it on pc.

Not to sure about this but have you tried AVS video converter 6 seen on another site about it and it seemed to work.

**scoobyjones1** · 29th March, 2011, 01:56 PM

No that doesnt do it...

No, it doesn't. I am trying to watch avi files on the Openbox S9. It is not a problem to convert the .dvr files that it records into ts or other formats...however I haven't found anyone on several forums that have been able to watch avi's or mkv s or mpegs on this box, or convert avi's to the particular file system that it uses. It is a real shame because the box is good in other ways...shouldn't be expensive for them to enable video/avi/mkv viewing as it can already play mp3 and jpegs.

I gave up and bought a Cyclone Primus Media Player...it's great, plays all my avi's, mkv, mpegs, divx, jpegs, mp3s etc and has freed up space on my pc...recommended !

....I'm going to try mept1's recommendation today and will let ya know what I find....
