What a .qbx file is
.qbx is the recording format of the Flashback in-car camera system from Safe Fleet Mobile-Vision, used by police departments. It isn't a standard video file: it won't open in QuickTime, and VLC doesn't read it either.
Ways to play it
- Use the player that came with it. Agencies often deliver .qbx files with a copy of the Flashback player, which is a Windows program. On a Mac that means a Windows computer, or Windows running on the Mac.
- Ask for a standard copy instead. The Flashback Player doesn't export video, but the agency's evidence system can produce a standard video file, or a DVD that plays anywhere. A request that gets you what you need:
Produce <file name> as an MP4 or AVI export from the agency's video system, with the original date and time shown on the video.
- Convert it. LexProxy members can turn a .qbx file into an MP4 with the Video Converter, below.
