Because the case won't wait for a problem video.
Proprietary DVR exports, oversized files, mixed-source footage, files that won't open or won't play reliably — 4KVT prepares a standardized playback copy for review, presentation and courtroom playback — your original never leaves your custody. Use us to solve a problem file or prepare one before a deadline. Flat price per file. No subscription. No contract. Processing is fully automated — no person at 4KVT ever views your footage.
A file does not have to be broken to cost staff time or create a presentation problem. These are the recurring situations 4KVT is built to handle.
The incident location hands over a USB drive or download from their security system. The files are .DAV or another proprietary format. Nothing in the office plays them — and the courthouse equipment won't either.
The doorbell or phone clip plays fine in one app but freezes, buffers, or shows a black screen on the courtroom AV system. Codec and container incompatibility — invisible until presentation day.
The video plays but the audio stream is non-standard. Players silently drop it. Reviewers and juries watch footage with no sound — or staff burn an afternoon trying codec packs they shouldn't be installing.
Dashcam, doorbell, phone, store DVR and investigator footage all arrive differently. Standardized playback copies reduce format switching and make review and presentation more predictable.
A file may open yet buffer, freeze, start slowly or lose audio on another machine. We prepare a broadly compatible H.264 MP4 with standardized audio and Faststart for immediate playback.
Federal and state courts increasingly impose their own video requirements — and generally won't fix a file for you once it's in front of them.
Size limits are real. Some courts' e-filing systems cap most video exhibits well under a gigabyte, and formats outside a short accepted list aren't taken at all.
Some courts won't convert it for you. Several districts advise that material requiring proprietary software or codecs the court can't review simply won't become part of the record.
No time to troubleshoot at counsel table. Courts generally don't provide court or jury time to fix playback problems mid-proceeding — testing beforehand is the only real option.
Requirements differ by court and by judge, so we don't promise any specific court's acceptance. What we prepare is a standardized playback copy built to sit inside the common limits — your original stays your authoritative copy throughout.
Send a copy whether it is incompatible, oversized, mixed-source, unreliable in playback, or simply being prepared before a hearing. You receive a standardized playback copy and a processing documentation report — everything logged, your original untouched.
Prepared for reliable playback on standard media players, courtroom AV systems, and presentation laptops. Broadly compatible H.264 MP4 with standardized stereo audio and instant-start playback.
Every job includes a processing record — not merely a receipt — showing the source specs, output specs, every technical step applied to the copy, and what was not altered.
No software to install. No new system for your staff. A copy goes up; a playable copy comes back.
Send a copy of the evidence file — up to 10 GB, up to 2 hours. Your original stays in your custody, untouched. The chain of custody is never interrupted.
Our system detects the format issue and prepares the playable copy. Fully automated — no person at 4KVT views your footage. Privileged material stays privileged.
A private link by email: the playable evidence copy and the documentation report. The secure link is valid for 7 days — then the file is automatically removed from our servers.
Priced by file size, not by case value. No subscription, no contract, no minimum — pay only when you send a file.
Before any firm sends privileged material to an outside service, these are the questions that must be answered.
You upload a copy. Your original file stays on your system, unaltered. Chain of custody intact.
No person at 4KVT views your footage. No reviewer, no editor, no contractor. The pipeline is automated end to end.
Same-day processing. 24/7 automated file submissions and processing, with a private download link by email returned generally within the hour.
Files are removed from our servers automatically after the delivery window. We are a processing step, not a storage service.
Evidence is never used for training, marketing, or any purpose beyond your single job.
Pay per file, only when you send one. No retainer, no minimum, no sales contact — ever.
Technical format preparation only — clearly bounded, so you know exactly when to use us and when to call someone else.
4KVT performs technical format preparation only, on a copy of your file. We do not view, analyze, enhance, or alter content beyond that technical conversion. You send us only a copy of the file — never the original. We modify that copy's container, codec, and audio so it plays on standard equipment; your original stays in your custody, untouched, the entire time. The copy is deleted from our servers within 7 days. Every step applied to the copy is listed in your documentation report. What we deliver is a playable viewing copy, clearly documented as such — your original remains your authoritative copy. If your matter requires forensic analysis, authentication, or enhancement, engage a qualified forensic AV examiner — we are the straightforward format step, not the expert
