Great! Worked like a charm. I had to use 64Bit Mac version of ffmpeg binaries. But I worked.

<p>My customer gave me a series of videos, recorded from CC Cam. The extension is .dad. I couldn't play them on any player. (Obviously changed the extension for testing) and I wasn't able to convert them into a more common video format. 
I've tried Miro, HandBrake, VLC and some other apps on Mac to convert them with no success. 
Can anyone help me how can I convert them into a more common format that can be played and used in production. 
I can give more info about the video format if anyone asks and tells me how to get that info :)</p>

What does [Mediainfo](https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo) say for the OBS captured file? Use View -> Text mode and paste the readout into your Q.
