The file will not play or convert using over a dozen different tools.  File
is 4,097,356KB, and should be 720P footage from a webcam.  The bitrate
makes no sense, and the duration should be much higher, or the file should
be much smaller.  BlueIris created the file, but it wont play it.  What
command can I use to reencode the file with proper settings?
