Convert TVN to KMP

Understanding the TVN and KMP file formats

TVN files are typically associated with TimeViewer, a proprietary video surveillance software. These files store recorded video footage from security cameras and are often encrypted or encoded in a format specific to the TimeViewer system.

KMP files, on the other hand, are K-Multimedia Player (KMPlayer) playlist files. They contain a list of media files (such as videos or audio) to be played in sequence by KMPlayer, a popular multimedia player for Windows.

Can you convert TVN to KMP?

Direct conversion from TVN (a proprietary video format) to KMP (a playlist file) is not straightforward. The process involves two main steps:

1. Extract or convert the video content from the TVN file to a standard video format (such as MP4 or AVI).
2. Create a KMP playlist file that references the converted video files.

How to extract video from TVN files

To access the video content in a TVN file, you typically need the original TimeViewer software or a compatible video converter. If the software allows, use the export function:

• Open the TVN file in TimeViewer.
• Go to File → Export or Save As and choose a standard video format like MP4 or AVI.

If TimeViewer does not support export, you may need to use screen recording software to capture the playback.

How to create a KMP playlist file

Once you have your video in a standard format, you can create a KMP playlist:

• Open KMPlayer.
• Drag and drop your video files into the playlist area.
• Go to Playlist → Save Playlist As and choose the KMP format.

Recommended software for TVN to KMP conversion

• TimeViewer (for exporting TVN files to standard video formats)
• KMPlayer (for creating and saving KMP playlists)
• Any Video Converter or HandBrake (for converting exported videos to desired formats, if needed)

Summary

While there is no direct TVN to KMP converter, you can extract video from TVN files using TimeViewer and then create a KMP playlist in KMPlayer. This two-step process ensures your surveillance footage can be organized and played back easily in KMPlayer.
