I have a small number of video files from a CCTV security system which mplayer does not play. When the CCTV system copies the files onto CD it gives them a .mp4 extension but it seems this is not correct. The instruction book says the video codec in use is H.264. Looking at the file with a hex editor the first four characters are 4HKH. I am wondering if the files are H.264 but embedded in a proprietary encapsulation that saves other information. If so I am looking for ideas of how to reverse engineer this or strip it off. Does an H.264 stream start with a recognisable sequence that I could search for. Any other ideas how I could approach this?
