Media Center>converting .vms files.

I need a good file converter to get .vms to something that can be seen.
I can only open them with Foscam software.

I have tried VLC, Prism video, NCH with no luck.

Had another porch pirate come through and want to bust them. A new trick people are doing is wearing masks so they cant be identified. And it is hard to get a plate. But...I may be able to get one if I can convert the file.

Also, if anyone can clear up a pic, I would send it to you.

Don't know about .vms files specifically, but I usually use Handbrake for video file conversions...

2 million results on the Amazing Internet and not one that is helpful. Sometimes you just wanna cry! :-)

That shit drives me crazy. Hope you can find one.

I suggest hitting up GBlowfish, he is in the video reproduction business. He could possibly help.

So.... here is a kinda shitty yet ingenious work-around.

Play your video from Foscam and use screen capturing software which can then save the video in any format you need.

Thanks.

Upload the video to youtube and hit up your local "nextdoor" type apps and plaster them on social media. Someone may still recognize the vehicle.
