Hi.

This app converts the .rtsp files saved in the Scrypted NVR recordings folder to MP4 files.

- It was built with the assistance of AI

- Runs on Mac with Apple silicon (M1 and later)

- This is not affiliated with or endorsed by Scrypted

This was for personal use. I thought that someone may find it useful.

Features

• Browse to your Scrypted recordings folder and convert all recordings in one click
• Skips recordings already converted
• Parallel conversion
• Organises output into events/ and recordings/ subfolders per camera
• Live progress bar, per-session log, and elapsed timer

Usage

1. Open the app and click Browse… next to Recordings folder
2. Select your Scrypted recordings directory — this is typically the folder containing your scrypted-* camera folders
3. Choose an output folder (defaults to an MP4 subfolder inside the recordings folder)
4. Click Convert All Recordings

How it works: Each Scrypted recording folder contains numbered .rtsp segment files. The app spins up a local RTSP server, streams the segments through it, and passes the URL to ffmpeg which muxes the output to MP4.
