h.264

I recently bought a Chinese brand DVR (to record security cams). The DVR exports the video files with a ".264" extension. This is my first time ever dealing with this video format.

Anyhow I've been trying to convert the videos to any other format so it will be easier to watch the videos.

The problem is that I could only find one program that can convert and play those files which is Elecard studio something, and even that Elecard studio thing is having trouble with these files, some of them are just making it crash so I can't convert them.

I've tried to find some other programs but I couldn't find anything that can actually play those files.

How can I play or convert these files to another format?
