<p>.g64 is the extension of the proprietary video format from Genetec, a provider of IP video surveillance.

<p>A legal friend of mine received a file from a colleague with a .g64 file extension that she needs to view.  My searching indicates that the .64 file extension is some form of proprietary security video format but I can't determine the exact software.</p>

<p>I checked VLC but it doesn't look like there is any native support for it, and I couldn't find any addon codecs for it.  Other references to download player software for it look like they are probably just click-bait scams.</p>

<p>Any ideas what I can use to play the video?</p>

It's been a while but I was able to find a player for it.  It's been long enough that I just don't remember exactly what it was but genetec sounds very familiar.  Thanks for the reply ;-)

A legal friend of mine received a file from a colleague with a .g64 file extension that she needs to view. My searching indicates that the .64 file extension is some form of proprietary security video format but I can't determine the exact software.

I checked VLC but it doesn't look like there is any native support for it, and I couldn't find any addon codecs for it. Other references to download player software for it look like they are probably just click-bait scams.

Any ideas what I can use to play the video?
