What if the video recording software was saving the file in an invisible folder and the video that I see is instead something which is being edited somewhere else?
How large is the file and how fast is the connection to where you suspect the file is being edited?
Say for example the file is 100GB and you have a T1 connection to the Interwebs and the "hacker" also has a T1. It would take 6 Days 10 Hours 32 Minutes 22.91 Seconds to download the file to the hacker (given perfect conditions), some amount of time, say conservatively 40 hours, to manipulate the video, and 6 Days 10 Hours 32 Minutes 22.91 Seconds to put the video back on the computer. Is that reasonable?
And of course the "hacker" would also have had to open ports in your firewall to exfil and return the file, would have to manipulate the time stamps of the file and computer, and clear any traces of the activity from the computer logs.
Additionally the "hacker" would have to have a huge financial motivation because the video processing equipment to perform the work you have described is not off the shelf consumer software; you are talking pro-gear including software like AVID Media Composer, computers and associated video editing controllers, a rendering farm to speed processing, etc. Is that reasonable?
Does someone that you know have the means, motive, and opportunity to perpetrate these acts you suspect? Is there some incredibly wealthy individual that you have wronged that has hired a team of people to mess with you? Perhaps there is international intrigue afoot and some nation state has you in their cross-hairs and is sparing no expense to make changes to these videos and at some point is going to make it seem like you have perpetrated some horrific act so you can be renditioned to some secret "black' prison. Are any of those scenarios reasonable?
Of course it is equally plausible that aliens with advanced intelligence have targeted you, are coming in and freezing time around themselves as they move through your video performing whatever mischief they want, exiting the video and then allowing time to resume. Again I ask, is that reasonable?
If I may
Of course it is equally plausible that aliens ….
I would venture to say "slightly less plausible, while still possible …." wink
We do have factual evidence of the existence of both incredibly wealth individuals and of international intrigues (or at least of nation states), whilst we miss AFAIK definite facts about aliens.
And while not necessarily incredibly wealthy individuals and nation states are also intelligent, it is generally assumed that the aliens are intelligent.
It would be IMHO fairly illogical for an intelligent alien race to spend time and resources to fiddle with a single security video recording, it would be more fun for them to alter the space time continuum of the planet or of the whole solar system.
Still, altering the time in a restricted area might be an exercise for their kids in first grade, so it cannot be deemed completely impossible….

yes I understand that is far fetched, however I do believe the audio has been faked somehow. Do you know if that could be plausible?
On all AVI files I have seen, the audio is saved with the video, ie in chunks. ie There may be multiple chunks of video, then a chunk of audio. The audio chunks are normally (but I don't think always) variable length

Somehow "how"?
I mean, we miss a lot of details on your setup, "normal" security video have no audio and usually there must be a reason to set up a device recording audio too, presuming that the footage is happening overnight, there should be no audio anyway (since there is normally no noises in a closed *whatever*).
If you prefer, what did you expect the audio recording to sound like?
What does it actually sound like?
Which differences are there between you expectations and the actual result?
What makes you think that the audio was faked/changed/manipulated?
Example (hypothesis that the thingy is used to record who passes through an access in a warehouse during closing hours)
Instead of complete silence or maybe the noise of cars, trucks or trains passing by you hear a few known rap songs 😯 .
Possible explanation #1
A group of kids with a boom box has stayed sometime outside the building in the vicinity of the security microphone | .
Possible explanation #2
For *whatever* technical reason the audio recording cabling/hardware got tuned on a local FM station ? .
Possible explanation #3
A villain from SPECTRE, as a preliminary step towards world domination and stuff is testing a new death ray that wirelessly injects rap music into any electrical appliance ! .

sorry, now that I read again your reply on time freezing, I have my doubts. What if they were freezing time on the pc, making the clock freeze and then resume a minute or so later. Would the video stop or would keep filming but the action for that minute would be frozen? Would the whole thing be visible? As in would you notice that the action froze up at some point?
The video format is in fact MP4, the videos are roughly 7-8hours in length so I replay them high speed.
Woild there be a way to tell if on the pc he time stopped at some point?
I had an instance at least in which I remember switching the pc off and then setting off, then I suddenly realized I was a few minutes early compared to the time being displayed on the pc. Could that be that they stop the pc time at some point, then resume and adjust a few minutes later when I am not there? Would that result in the video stopping to record altogether or would the video be recorded but there would be a still image somewhere, that perhaps you do not even notice as the recording and the pc time are synced?
If this is the case, however, could that be possible to retrieve information in the pc logs for the clock having been stopped at some point? which data should I be looking for in that case?

NO way, if a time bomb was used ( .
