It looks like that hkv to avi conversion is most likely needed for users that try to convert video recordings saved using Eyesight IP Camera to some standard video format like avi. Supposedly, you can do that with the SYSM Monitor program that is bundled together with the device as it support conversion to avi. Without the software provided by the manufacturer, it will be almost impossible to convert .hkv files to anything else, despite it being a variant of H.264 codec.

Understanding HKV and AVI file formats

The HKV file format is commonly used for video recordings from surveillance systems. It is a proprietary format that is not widely supported by standard media players. On the other hand, the AVI (Audio Video Interleave) format is a popular multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft. It is widely supported across various platforms and devices, making it a preferred choice for video playback and editing.

How to convert HKV to AVI

Converting HKV files to AVI can be essential for easier playback and editing. To perform this conversion, you will need a reliable video converter that supports both formats.

Best software for HKV to AVI conversion

One of the best software options for converting HKV to AVI is VLC Media Player. Although primarily known as a media player, VLC also offers conversion capabilities. Here’s how you can use it:

  • Open VLC Media Player.
  • Go to Media → Convert/Save.
  • Click on Add and select your HKV file.
  • Click on Convert/Save at the bottom.
  • In the Profile dropdown, select AVI as the output format.
  • Choose a destination file and click Start to begin the conversion.

Another excellent tool is HandBrake, which is open-source and supports a wide range of formats. However, you may need to first convert HKV to a more common format like MP4 using VLC, and then use HandBrake to convert to AVI.
