New feature for DOD LS430W in RegistratorViewer 5.5 and above

[chris127]

My DOD LS430W sets at every new fragment the last second (1050 ms) from the previous fragment at the beginning of the file and when I open my records with the RegistratorViewer, I've a small replay on every next fragment. So I spoken with the developer of the RegistratorViewer and he has programmed a hidden feature for me to trim this second.

To activate this feature you must open regedit with this path:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DATAKAM PLAYER\

And add a string value:

trimTailMS="1050"

Now (re)start the RegistratorViewer and that's all.

I assume this "trick" of adding string value will work with any other unusual overlap time?

For example if dashcam videos have overlap 0.14 sec, need to add value: trimTailMS="014", if I understand this correctly ?

I think so, but maybe the programmer has create a function (in his source code) that detects which DashCam has recorded the current video. You can try it and give us a feedback, or wait until the evening and I test it with my GS5000 from my bicycle when I get back from work.

0.14 seconds are 140 milliseconds. So you must add the value:

trimTailMS="140"

And when someone has problems to convert seconds to milliseconds, so they can multiply seconds with 1000 or just use Google:
https://www.google.com/#q=0.14+seconds+in+milliseconds
https://www.google.com/#q=1.05+seconds+in+milliseconds

... my typo @ milliseconds 014 vs 140.
Thanks for pointing out.

I've tested the trim function with fragments of my GS5000 and it works also.
So you can use it with every DashCam.

I am afraid this "trick" works only for overlap value which is over 1 sec, like in your case 1050ms. I tested with some dashcam videos with overlap of 653ms, ( added string trimTailMS="653" ), compared videos with RV settings before and after and result was the same. I still need to work on this to figure out an issue.

I've tested it with 400ms and it works fine.

 

[niko]

I might know whats wrong with mine. I assume that my 653ms is not full 653ms overlay / overlap, only some smaller part of this figure is overlap, but I have yet need to test and try this theory.

I did this for Mobius videos (1050ms seems right -I tried it at 1000ms and there is a tiny stutter) and while they play perfectly (with no detectable seam) in Windows Media player, they will not load into Adobe Premier. It reports them as being an invalid file format or damaged.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

 

[chris127]

No, sorry. I use my Mobius only as a helmet action cam without loop recording.

Nice mod, but it's a pity this value could not be set in the program instead of using Regedit.
I will be using Registrator Viewer for the output from more than one camera - and they don't have the same overlap times

The programmer did not believed that so many users will require this feature.
That's the reason why he has not created a GUI.

I will ask him later if he can program a GUI and make it dependent for different dashcams.

I've spoken with Vadim, the programer of the RegistratorViewer, and he has programed a simple GUI (see attachment) for us to change the overlap time value in the program.
Unfortunately, he doesn't plan it to make them dependent for different dashcams.

Since RegistratorViewer 5.9 and above you can find the new GUI (Ctrl + J) under:

View -> Timeline -> Set video files overlap time
