DAV is a proprietary video format used by DVRs and CCTV systems, especially those made by Dahua. It stores video surveillance footage, often with timestamp and motion metadata.
DAV files typically require specific player software for viewing and conversion, though some can be opened with VLC or converted to MP4 for easier handling.
How to open DAV files
DAV files can be opened with the Dahua Smart Player or converted using specific DAV converters. VLC may play some DAV files depending on encoding.
To view them more easily, convert DAV to MP4 using AnyConv or proprietary tools.

What is a AVI file?
AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft. It can store both video and audio data in a single file and supports a variety of codecs.
Although an older format, AVI is still widely supported and used for video playback, editing, and sharing. However, its larger file sizes and limited support for newer features make it less efficient than modern formats.
How to open AVI files
AVI files are compatible with nearly all media players, including VLC, Windows Media Player, and QuickTime (with codecs). They are widely used in both editing and playback.
You can convert AVI to MP4 or MKV using AnyConv for improved compression and compatibility.
