    I recently bought an IP camera by Luowice, model LWS-R8-2MP. The camera provides a function where a video is uploaded to a FTP server when motion is detected. The camera uploads .264 files. My plan is to trigger a script once a file is uploaded which converts the file to .mp4 and delivers it via an instant messaging service. However I'm unable to convert the file as it seems to be either an uncommon or proprietary format. I've tried the solution mentioned here but when I run

    ffmpeg -framerate 24 -i A180126_222057_222111.264 -c copy output.mp4

    I receive the following error output (this is on macOS however the target system is Linux):

    I've contacted the Luowice support but they only provide a Windows application on their download site for converting the files. Also they didn't explain what's so special about their file format. I'm looking for a solution which works on Linux.

    Has anyone managed to convert .264 files provided by this camera model? A sample file can be downloaded here.

    Update:

    I've contact the support of Luowice and they say that the .264 files have been additionally "compressed" for saving storage space on the SD card of the camera. Unfortunately they can't explain how they compress the files due to "corporate policy".

    Update 2:

    I compiled the C application of the article mentioned by Alain.fr and let it run over the sample file. It outputs an .mp4 file. Unfortunately this file still cannot be played by VLC but when I run

    ffmpeg -framerate 25 -i A180126_222057_222111.mp4 -c copy output.mp4

    on the file produced by the converter application finally a playable video is produced :)

    Conclusion:

    Instead of an additional compression as claimed by Luowice actually some garbage is added to the H.264 stream which needs to be stripped.

    Update 3:

    Based on the converter application by Ralph Spitzner, which is written in C, I've created a Node.js port since my application is written in Node.js ;)

      Did you try to see the .264 file with vlc? If it works you can use vlc itself, or at least you may have some information more.

      Based on that output, this is not regular .264 files. You will need to pre-parse to remove whatever proprietary stuff is being added.

      Even if it doesn't start with vlc, it is reported as H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (h264) at 1920x1080. No digital fingerprint found. Just in case it should result useful for further attempts...
