Blackvue DR600GW-HD arrived today

Got a 600, start learning how to use and install custom firmware

Sweet! all my hopes are on you, to fix the audio issues! Had a DR400 a long time ago, replaced it with a brand new DR600. Image is ok, but audio quality is really really poor. Vids from my 400 have workable audio, 600 is just noise...

Hope this is fixed soon, either by Pittasoft with new firmware (unlikely) or by the community here!
 
Image quality seems fine, how the audio? I noticed you turned the mix off :p
 
You don't really have a choice with the dr600 ;-) if you could test it and see with your experience what the propable issue is with the poor audio recording?

1. I travel constantly in front - Blackvue DR550GW-2CH (custom firmware 1.4), back - BlackVue DR3500-FHD (bitrate 13 mb|s)
2. To me the sound is not required, don't see the point to test.
 
Aha. I'm thinking maybe to change to dr3500 if that sound is better. Dr600 sound is useless right now...
 
I am not interested in sound, I am interested in the video quality.
This DVR and not the recorder.

That's gibberish to me. Will my dash cam will be fixed soon?
 
It's the amount of data the cam can process per second. With blackvue this is very low normally, but in his custom firmware this is 20, very high!

I hope we get to see more of this very soon! :)
 
Just getting a black screen on the video. Date and model info are showing on the clip, but no actual video footage showing?
You as children
The video is not viewable, and to extract the actual technical characteristics

I did think that was the purpose of your video but wasn't 100% sure lol.

Thanks.
 
Here's a still from mine. And that's 9993 kbps according to it's properties. Audio still useless :(

I went out today with the updated firmware and yes it does appear to reduce the sound distortion however the I can still hear a slight distortion. What they appear to have done is just turned down the mic sensitivity and comparing the engine noise to a previous recording before I installed Ver1.001 it is much quieter now!

Audio bit rate 23kbps audio sample rate 8kHz, the Video bitrate is 9834kbps
