On my laptop:
If I put the micro SD CARD in the adapter and slide into the SD card port, I get a prompt the card needs formatting prior to use. If I plug that SD card adapter into an Anker OTG adapter

I know the videos are present on the card, I just don't have a reliable, repeatable, DEPENDABLE way to access and play them, especially on the phone.

Sorry if this post has exhausted anyone...it has me too! The camera, itself is great!. Great quality video and GPS, time, etc. Thank you very much for reading my post. I appreciate the time and consideration.[/URL]

This sounds not like a dashcam problem. This is most probably a microSD card / card adapter / card reader / USB port (power) problem.
Since when you connect your card via an external hub with reliable power supply, it does work.
I would try using a different (type of) MicroSD card - some of them require less power than others.

THANKS Don't Knowler, I'll keep trying to find the best solution. I'm using Transcend 64 GB cards. [emoji108]

I have nothing against Transcend cards, however I did read somewhere in the Internet, that their internal controllers are not very well compatible with Viofo cams...
I am using Lexar microSDXC High-Performance 633x 64GB cards in my both Viofos, and they work fine in the dashcams and in all the devices I use for reading these cards with.

Did you verify the cards are genuine? You can use the transcend verification website to find out by entering the serial number found on the card. There are a lot of fakes out there.

Transcend are the preferred brand
