Our office in downtown SF was robbed yesterday. Some guy came into the building and walked into one of the offices and stole a laptop off someone's desk. We have footage from the video cameras, but it's in a .drv format, which after doing some research were unable to find a player or a way to convert it to be played by VLC. Does anyone know of such a file and how to view the contents?

What are the first dozen bytes in the .drv file? Those often contain a magic number. – Hennes – 2012-11-01T19:21:19.813
Which camera? Have you tried contacting the manufacturer? Surely you must have considered possible playback methods if you installed something to record? – Karan – 2012-11-01T19:24:39.850
This site claims to have a .DRV player: http://preservesafetyandaccess.com/psa/surveillance.html

Ok, so maybe they (ought to) have some sort of system to play their own camera's footage back? – Karan – 2012-11-01T19:39:59.857
yeah they did. my next step was to go down there and see what program etc.. try to contact the company. – fady – 2012-11-01T19:40:42.860
