Raw H.264 / AVC Video Elementary Stream (DVR/CCTV export)

RESPOSTA RÁPIDA

A .264 file is a raw H.264 (AVC) video stream, most commonly exported by a CCTV camera, DVR, or NVR. It contains video only - no audio, no container, no timing data - which is why most players refuse it or show no duration. VLC can usually play it directly. To make it work everywhere, remux it to MP4 with ffmpeg in seconds: ffmpeg -i in.264 -c copy out.mp4.

O que é o formato de ficheiro 264?

Files with the .264 extension contain raw H.264/AVC video data, typically exported by CCTV cameras, IP cameras, NVRs, or DVR devices. .264 files can also be produced as an intermediate output by video ripping or conversion tools; in those cases the files are typically temporary. Data in a .264 file is encoded using the H.264/AVC codec (MPEG-4 Part 10).

A .264 file is a raw elementary stream - it contains no container wrapper, no audio track, and no timing metadata. Each NAL unit is preceded by a start-code prefix (00 00 00 01). Because there is no container, many media players refuse to open .264 files directly or play them at incorrect frame rates.

.264 files can be transcoded and multiplexed - that is, converted into more widely supported formats such as AVI or MKV. FFmpeg handles this with: ffmpeg -i input.264 -c:v copy output.mp4. Files with the .264 extension can also be opened directly on the recording device or by using software supplied with the device by the manufacturer. The format is functionally identical to .h264 - DVR and NVR firmware simply tends to use .264 as the file extension.

Segurança e proteção

RISCO: LOW

A raw .264 stream is inert video data, not executable, so it's safe to play and remux. Two practical notes: crafted streams have occasionally triggered decoder bugs, so keep VLC/ffmpeg updated; and because surveillance exports can be evidence, remux with '-c copy' (lossless) rather than re-encoding if you need to preserve the original frames. Online converters upload your footage to a third party - for CCTV/private video, remux locally with ffmpeg.

A raw .264 stream is a sequence of NAL units separated by the start-code prefix 00 00 00 01 (or the 3-byte 00 00 01). The first NAL is usually an SPS (byte 0x67) then PPS (0x68). This is NOT a container signature - there is no ftyp/RIFF/box header, no audio and no duration, which is why players that expect a container often refuse the file. Identical format to .h264; the .264 extension is the variant DVRs/NVRs tend to use.

Perguntas frequentes

How do I play a .264 file?
Use VLC media player - it plays raw H.264 streams directly (if needed, pick the 'H264 video demuxer' in Preferences). Most other players fail because the file has no container.
How do I convert a .264 file to MP4?
Remux it with ffmpeg: 'ffmpeg -i input.264 -c copy output.mp4'. This wraps the existing video in an MP4 container with no re-encoding and no quality loss. Add '-framerate 25' if playback speed is wrong.
Is .264 the same as .h264?
Yes - both are the same raw H.264 elementary stream, just different file extensions. DVRs and CCTV systems tend to write '.264'; encoders often write '.h264'. Treat them identically: play in VLC, remux to MP4 with ffmpeg.
Why is there no sound in my .264 file?
A raw H.264 stream is video only - it carries no audio track by design. If your CCTV recording had audio, it was either a separate file or in a different container export.
Why won't my .264 file open in Windows Media Player?
It's a raw elementary stream with no container, which WMP can't read. Open it in VLC, or remux it to MP4 with ffmpeg first; then it plays in any player.
My converted .264 plays too fast or too slow - how do I fix it?
The raw stream has no timing info, so the muxer guessed the frame rate. Re-remux specifying it: 'ffmpeg -framerate 25 -i in.264 -c copy out.mp4' (use your camera's actual fps).
