Was watching a show, so I saved the entire buffer, all 14.6gb worth
How to convert these files to videos?

These files are invisible in win7, but I can work with them in ubuntu linux.
Even setting files and folders to show all files in win7, these remain invisible???

Found this program, but can not use it if the files are not visible in win 7

I was able to make the files visible. BUT, that dvr-ms converter program outputs nothing at all.

See a command prompt appear for a moment when I try to convert a file.

using any video converter free version, I simply drag the sbf files into it and converted them to mp4 files, they then play.

On the install, I clicked customize and did not install the extras add on stuff that gets bundled into these things.

With hidden files enabled you can see them but, you cant do anything with them till you stop all WMC services. This works like this on 7 and 8.1 (including 10). I know for a fact, when I do some optimization of the drives, I delete all these files before tweaking and I need to shut down WMC services to do it.
