I had transferred all the recorded cam video files from a dedicated PC with Geovision 250 card. I transferred the files to a 500gb portable HDD. When I access the transferred files on a separate PC, I can see thumbnails of a video frame for each file.
However when I try to play any of them, all I get is black on WMP. I tried DiVX player also, and a pop up note says the file doesn't contain video. How can I see the files? Did I do something wrong? I need to burn pertinent files onto disk. Hi Mattb: Thanks for reply.

However, I need to present a client with captured video images from the Geovision- carded DVR. I have copied just the AVI cam image files from the HD on the Geovision-carded PC, to a portable HD. The client will not have Geovision software on their computer. I deleted the cam video image folders from the DVR PC.

All I have now are avi files on a portable storage drive. It sounds like the procedure you graciously outlined depends on there being some of the original cam image video files on the HD. (?) Basically whenever I capture video, I need to put it on a disk, or post it to a website, for a client to see/ download. No clients will have Geovision software on their PC.

I appreciate you assistance. Please advise.
