Readme
chipcaco (Chinese IP Camera Converter) is a Node.js application
and library for converting .264 files produced by some Chinese IP cameras.
At first glance it seems these files are raw H.264 streams. However they can't be played or converted by common applications like VLC. As it turns out proprietary extensions have been added to these files which need to removed before they can be played or converted.
This is a port of the C application by Ralph Spitzner.
Just install via npm:
npm install -g chipcaco
chipcaco <src> <dest>
where <src> is the source file produced by the camera and <dest> the destination file containing the processed data.
Note: The produced file must likely be additionally processed by ffmpeg or similar applications before it can be played. Example:
ffmpeg -framerate 25 -i intermediate.264 -c copy video.mp4
