any test video available?Latest A119 firmware is released , version number is V4.0, below is the download link, or check the attachment:
Your FW MOD-07 (4.0 + 27 Mb/s) is 3.91. You probably did same mistake like me.Checked new v4.00 Firmware....Looks like VIOFO forgot to change the MENU > Firmware Version > text ??
.....
On this v4.00 > I always double check, no mistake done on my end, but its a very minor text identifier, almost no one looks at anyway. The embedded 'Movie_More' MP4 tag I use for all MODs is much more handy for version ID.Please edit you support website. There is two download links. One for 4.0 and one for 3.91. I found this after 1 hour of reflashing fw and thinking why is still 3.91

Got the clip thanks.Another Night Clip from my rear facing v.1. A119
I moved the mount slightly with near zero improvement. The plastic trim piece it is mounted to is just to bouncy. I really dont want to stick it to the widow itself. b/c I don't want to damage the tint or the defroster grids.
Welcome to the DashcamTalk Forum.HI
I've already update to 4.0 firmware.
I did factory reset. I test with WDR ON AND OFF at night scene low light.
WDR OFF in dark area are brighter than WDR ON. WDR ON in bright area are same with WDR OFF.
I think new firmware in setting menu : WDR OFF is really WDR ON.
Did anyone are same to me?
Sorry for bad English.
HiWelcome to the DashcamTalk Forum.
Wide Dynamic Range will make adjustments when majority of scene is too dark or too bright, it will ignore smaller regions. Perform on/off test in very dark areas or at dusk to see if WDR performs normally. Good test is driving under trees in shadow in daytime on/off should make a big difference, unless algorithm has changed. Your test results point to a reverse of the on/off controls which is very strange. If this is true you found a BUG and should be reported to VIOFO.

Checked new v4.00 Firmware Tables, no change to Sharpness or Bit Rate, only WDR preset values. the .TS video format option is nice to have.
Will have to wait longer for other basic IQ improvements or visit the A119 Modified Firmware MODs Archive thread.

Would you suggest to use it as a superior format in this case?The .TS files will still allow you to record even if the capacitors fail where as .MP4 will fail. TS stands for transport stream so the file is as filmed with no format change .
.TS is a better choice for dashcam use because even if the cam somehow gets damaged in teh crash, the file should still be usable as long as you can read from the memory card. if you don't properly "close" a .MP4 file, it may be corrupted and unusable. on the other hand, a .TS doesn't need to be "closed" in the traditional sense, so that last file (usually THE most important one to be recorded) will still be there and still be usable as evidence.Would you suggest to use it as a superior format in this case?
Great question,What is the difference between those two formats .TS and .MP4?
I researched this a bit and it appears that quality will be the same as it is only a different container.
Lot of voices online claim that .MP4 is more versatile.
Why would one use .TS format in a DashCam?
Thanks.
