Lts/Hik NVR- Pull 6 hrs footage 200 files

[themow]

My neighbor had a break in a few days ago and today a detective came by asking for footage from 5-11pm
I logged into the ltn8704 nvr and downloaded the footage from the playback tab but it went to a folder and created almost 200 files.

In the past, i have just used my phone to clip the playback and upload it to youtube. Usually, its a minute or two.

I want to combine the 200 files into one and upload them to youtube. The detective said that was fine.

Is there a better way to go about what im trying to do?

6hrs of footage from multiple cams... I wouldn't bother trying to put that on youtube.

Continuous recording or motion only?

5-11pm motion detection from one cam

Pull the files into a video editor and combine them.
Free video editors: shotcut, kdenlive, windows movie maker (but it may be less desirable)
Paid: Vegas movie studio, Adobe Premiere elements
if you're on a mac: iMovie, Final Cut Pro
