This tutorial will work for at LEAST Zmodo files and Aposonic files.
The problem: You save/download some video from your home surveillance cameras and it is in h264 format. You can play it with VLC media player but can't do simple edits in Windows Movie Maker.
Why? Because a video needs a container. An mp4 video is a video inside a container. An h264 video does not have a container. I finally found a stupid-easy way to convert these, and it's free.
I have saved you the trouble of downloading countless "freeware" bullshit programs that don't do what you need them to do anyway.
What we are going to do: Convert our h264 home security video into an mp4 file so it can be opened and edited in Windows Movie Maker.
