Hi Mio,
There are 2 issues present here...
1) (which was the point of the thread) - was the attitude on the other site.
2) The standard quality on the 550 is very poor, so the point of installing the custom firmware was to increase the quality on this very expensive dash camera. Since the manufacturers are unwilling to do so (at the moment).

However, I have sacrificed smooth running blocky video for jumping good quality video. - What the custom firmware should provide is smooth running good quality video!
The fundamental issue with dropping down to a 16GB card size, is that (depending on your settings), you are only going to get a maximum of 3 hours recording on a card... this just isn't enough.
 
Ya the video performance is dismal. Their were rumors of them upping the bitrate but it has not happened in the last two firmwares. Even if they up it, they will have a hard time with making sure people's memory cards can handle it. I just tried custom firmware and could not get live viewing through the web working so tried though the app and wifi kept disconnecting and video would not load. Went back to normal and all is good.
