Dear Hans, please find below two files for your consideration. One is the original video file captured on my QNAP unit. The other is the altered file using your tool.
Previous versions did not require the expensive license, and the latest versions come with only one courtesy license.
The recording format capabilities strongly depends on your camera’s capabilities, since the QNAP does not transcode the video’s.
My Foscam 8. Motion JPEG (MJPG), but other camera’s support h. In this article I’ll focus on the video’s from my Foscam, but as I have seen in numerous forums, this trick will work for most cheaper IP camera’s as well.
When you try to open one of the QNAP Surveillance Video Recordings, you will most likely get an error message, as for example in
It appears that “q. IVG” can be played with a Motion JPEG (MJPEG or MJPG) codec. Note that other camera’s might use different format, I unfortunately do not have any other camera’s to test other formats with. For this we can use several applications like
Instead I use a program I created my self:
There are plenty other locations to find pre- compiled ffmpeg builds, some of them you can find on the
The example below only converts the video, as most recordings do not have audio:

The Tricks Nature Documentaries Use to Draw You In. In the back of your mind, you probably realize that nature documentaries aren’t literally nonfiction depictions of actual things that happened in nature. As it turns out, many of the techniques and tricks used in Hollywood movies are also applied to nature documentaries—even when the footage is real.
If you’re familiar with filmmaking, and particularly how documentaries are made, then many of the techniques are probably no surprise to you. Filmmaker Simon Cade recently shared what some of these techniques are in a popular video that’s been making the rounds. For example, some techniques include: Adding in sound effects: Documentary makers can only get so close to wildlife without disturbing them, which often means they can’t capture good sound with shots.
Nature films particularly rely on telescopic lenses, so they literally can’t record the distant sounds of the animals. The appropriate sounds are added in later, usually using clips created in a studio. Editing footage to show a scenario: Filming wild animals takes days, if not weeks or months, which means filmmakers end up with a lot of footage to work with. They take all that footage and edit together a sequence of events that didn’t actually happen around the same time in order to show you a complete situation and story (like two males fighting and then the winner going off with the female, for example). Creating a narrative: To draw you in, the documentary may be put together in a way that builds a story with you rooting for one of the animals shown (usually a cute, fluffy one) so that you’re emotionally invested. Of course, some documentaries don’t show the predator’s babies it has to feed or what will happen if it doesn’t get a meal. Music is also often used to influence your emotions and the tone of what you’re watching, as is the case in any filmmaking.
While there have been cases of animals being harmed or even killed in nature documentaries, most famously in a 1. Disney production, treatment and respect of animals has improved quite a lot. Some documentaries also build habitats in a studio or other non- natural environment to capture footage that might be impossible otherwise (especially for very small creatures and time- lapse sequences). Simon Cade’s suggestion that nature documentaries are “fake” is a dramatic overstatement, but if you’re concerned about how editing and other techniques are being used to influence the way you view wildlife (especially predators), do your own research after you watch documentaries to learn more about the “bad guys” and their important place in the circle of life.
