i just got a DS-2CD2145F-IWS 4MP hikvision. It came with firmware V5.4.0 build 160401 and encoding V7.3 build 160401. I have tried direct to disc using both resolutions 1920x1080 and the higher 2560*1440 and the recorded video is not playable. The live cast plays perfect in real time from within blue iris but the recording is just playing noise. When I switch from direct to disc to encode as h264 then recorded files play as expected. However when I do this CPU utilization spikes to much higher levels, so I am in need to be able to record to disc in order to have CPU at acceptable levels. Is there something I am missing in order to correct this behavior?
The hikvision configuration for video is as follows.

Frame Rate: 25
Max Bitrate: 6144
Video Encoding: H264
H264+: OFF
Profile: Main Profile
