I just got a new trail camera, its not my first, the others record to micro SD and I just copy what I want to keep up to Google photo or send to facebook forums.
This new camera seems to have a video recording format that neither facebook or Google photo will accept. I have to convert them to MPEG in VLC player before I can post them. Win 11 Media player has no problem playing them nor does VLC, but Clipchamp fails to load them.
I can get up to 50 x 1min video's a night so its a pita to keep having to convert them.
Firstly I need to know if the camera can record in a more friendly format? Its Chinese with no manufacturer support. So far I tried 4K and 1080P resolution.
Here is the VLC data from a video that fails.

The only control I have in the camera for video is 720p 1080p 2.7k & 4k.
I'm guessing the simple answer is that the camera is using a junk format that cant be altered and everything I wish to keep needs converting?
Here is a converted video data that google, clipchamp and facebook are happy with.
