When searching online, you may find many posts that using AVIgenerator (V1.8, V1.8, V2.0 etc) can convert the .264/.h264 files to AVI format which most of media players can support. However, when I tried this method, I failed to generate .AVI files for my .264 video files recently recorded by IP cameras. According to Larry - the software engineer from Spreadys, AVIgenerator can process .264 raw files into the AVI container, most of them are basic wrappers, the image quality of generated .AVI file will be poorer than original raw files.
Part 2: How to convert the .264 video files to MP4 files?
After I tried all the media players and converters, all these software/converters failed to achieve this. However, by coincidentally, I successfully used the VLC built-in converter and handbrake software to convert the raw .264/.h264 video files to playable MP4 files.
#1. Select [Convert/Save...] from the drop menu of Media
#2. A [Open Media] window will pop-up, click 'Add' to add the .264 file needs to convert. Then, click 'Convert/Save' button to continue.
#3. Selecting ' Video - H.264 + MP3 (MP4)' in Profile list, click 'Config' icon to config the profile setting.
#4. Selecting the 'MPEG-TS', not the MP4/MOV (default), then go to 'Audio codec' to disable audio.
#5. Go to 'Video codec' tab, choosing 'H-264' in Codec listing, then select/check 'Keep original video track'. This step is very important.
#6. Clicking 'Save' to save the profile setting, then click 'Browser' to select the directory where the generated file need to be stored. Thereafter, click 'Start' to proceed file generating. Just several seconds, you will get files with .ts file extension.
#7. Run the Handbrake software, import the .ts file to convert.
Lastly, Handbrake is my favorite media file converting software. I spent the whole day to find the way to play and convert .264/.h264 video files, unfortunately I solved this.
