Play DVR file - how it works

You cannot play video files in DVR format with conventional players. The DVR file (Digital Video Recorder) mostly comes directly from the recording device. We show you which video player you can use to view the recording.

How to play DVR files

• DVR files can easily be played with the AVS media player. Here you can find the player for free download.
• During installation, you can set up the AVS media player as the standard playback player. Here it is advisable to only tick "DVR-MS" / "MS-DVR".
• Then open the player and click on the "Playlists" button (shortcut F3). Here you can open the desired DVR file using the plus symbol.
• To play the video, you must first mark it in the playlist. Then start playback in the media player by clicking on "Play".

Tip: With the right software, you can record the activities on your screen. Whether gaming videos or a tutorial - here we show you how it works.
