Hello,

I casually checking my dash cam footage to make sure everything was working well, and about half of the files in the "MOVIE" folder are corrupt. Tried opening with VLC and Windows Media Player but neither can do it. I originally had a SanDisk 32GB microSD but swapped it out for the highest rated Samsung 32GB on Amazon but that didn't change anything. I'm recording at 1080P, sound on, etc. I've noticed that all of the videos in the "RO" folder (which as I understand is where G-sensor triggered events are stored) work just fine. Any advice for what to try next? Is there a firmware update that will work with my model (just a generic one from Amazon) or is this hardware related? I got this for a gift and really need it to work 100% of the time so I'd be willing to replace it if need be.

Thanks,
David
 
Are those files somewhere in the middle of the journey or last files ?
Do you have battery or capacitor version B40 ?
 
Not trying to hijack the OP's thread.. but i'm having the same issue. Random corrupt files mid-journey. Capacitor version.
 
I did recently format the card inside the B40 settings but the dead files still persist. I too suspect it might be the card. I'll order a new one and swap it out but thought I'd ask here first.
 
Random bad files could be a bad card but could also be a bad or loose power adapter. Check the connection at the lighter, or if you hard wired it, check those connections.
 
Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I have the capacitor version, and the corruption happens mid-commute. I'll check the connections. Also I've tried a new card but I'll run the diagnostics on both of them to see if maybe I have two bad cards.
