VIOFO A119 PRO Modified Firmware MODs Archive

[Paul Iddon]

found some problems recording TS format with MODs: 5Re, 7Re, 5Te, 7Te. MP4 look better.
there are skipped frames and the video is "jumpy".
after those MODs I installed 7Lc and 7Pe and these record both formats just fine.

anyone else experienced a problem recording a .TS video format?

Now you mention it - I did notice a little jumpiness - I just assumed it was the Windows Media Player - seems like you have found something there Borik - nicely spotted.

If it's the TS causing it, then I will change back to MP4 (I only changed to TS because I could!).

Thanks for the discovery.

Paul.

the problem seems to be related only to the above mentioned MODs, the others I tried work fine.

I use PotPlayer and have enough video stored (about 2-3Tb) to compare to.

BUG Found and confirmed by @lukasz.pl + @borik + @BCHobbyist
All Modified Firmware with Audio22 create a video timing issue when TS video format is enabled and MIC button is pressed.
Due to this discovery all STABLE and some popular BETA MODs will be replaced with default Audio.
MP4 video format is unaffected, and fully supports Audio22 modification.
Recommend downloading fresh copies of all Oct.6-8 recent STABLE MODs for A119 + A119Pro + A129Duo + A119S

RAW FILE

Very good 7Li Sharp120 footage and acceptable candidate for Sharp Low/Soft level, better than I expected, color is great not too saturated. Those are crazy streets, tried to guess which way you'd turn and wrong each time!

Some more footage of 7Li Sharp120. Just about the right amount of sharpness for me. Uploaded video looks a bit compressed from my end, not sure if a free Dropbox account only does 720p? The original is fine.

WOW !!!!!! That is the BEST circle route to test Dash Cams I've ever seen! You must use that same street for all future test footage, that narrow street with row houses is Perfect! The colors are perfect and amazingly that is only Sharp120 the LOW setting.
REQUEST you run that circle route at same time using 7Lj Sharp160 and 7Te Sharp180. I will use that test footage in next Modified Firmware World Tour promotional video. You Sir, should be in the Movie business scouting locations, well done! WOW !!!!!
I download all Dropbox files in RAW original resolution so I can verify 1440P at 30fps and MOD ID so its the actual original uploaded file.

 

[tedmault]

Thanks for the feedback. My wife does the driving now so I will have to try and persuade her! Glad that you can see the original resolution.

Created new A119Pro - STABLE versions 7Tf , 5Tf with lower default Hue + Saturation. Recommended and verified by @tedmault for improved low light detail. All future Hue + Saturation versions will stay in Beta folder.
Also included @BC Rural 's suggestion for customized Microphone-Off icon to improve visibility when pressing the MIC button. (appended late in the day)

Excellent 7Tf footage, sharpness is perfect and most important that street is the best IQ test track in the world! The A119Pro works well with sharpness value set to 180 for maximum / strong level, well done to both of you!
Question: did you have WDR enabled? noticed a flicker of brightness a few times.

 

[BCHobbyist]

Created new A119Pro - STABLE versions 7Tg and 5Tg increased Sharpness 190 for Strong level, demoting Sharp180 to Normal. Full ChangeLog details available on post #1 of this thread.

Thanks for the feedback. WDR not enabled. I noticed the flicker of brightness a few times. I think it may just be the exposure trying to keep up with the tricky light levels, lots of quick changes between the low light levels. I have noticed the A119 Pro does this sometimes, but I think most cameras with struggle a bit in those conditions. It would be nice to test an A129 to see if it copes any better...

Receiving many requests for A119Pro internal component locations. Photos also apply to A119 + A119S Dash Cams.

Created new A119Pro - Beta version 6Lk = Major IQ improvement !!! See post #1 of thread for details and ChangeLog.
Welcome to Wacky Weekend MODs !!
Request feedback on Sharpness, Saturation, Brightness under all lighting conditions.
6Lk contains newly discovered two stage Sharpness and Saturation control producing crisp object definition and warmer tone. Special thanks to @Caerus and the DCTeam for sharing comments and footage which lead directly to this improved IQ control. More work is needed to tweak these initial settings and levels, all feedback is welcome. A119Pro firmware uses extremely high sharpness values and unique compared to other VIOFO models.
