I have an AVI h265 video from a home security camera that is giving me issues on playback. It shows the first shot of the video, but that's it. I've uploaded a video here as an example to see if someone can play with it to get it to work:

I'm not very tech savy so please let me know if you need any additional details to help solve this issue. Thank you.

Strange video:

Code: Select all

Bits/(Pixel*Frame)                       : 0.000

I'm not sure "x265" is a valid codec ID.
MPC-HC and MPV don't want to play it, and FFplay doesn't like "x265" as well:

Code: Select all

Looks like this video is badly muxed, and AVI is not a good idea for HEVC anyway.

So there's nothing I can do about it? :-/
