Hi, I recently got an A119 mini (had an A119S for years). I intend to use it to do continuous recording on a holiday, so I test drove it this weekend.
at 1080p60 it generated about 9 2+Gb files. Only 4 of those ended up readable.
Tried various video players, dashcam viewer (which could extract the GPS data, but not show any video) and the Viofo app.
Found a MP4 repair tool (expensive, so only used trial mode) which showed that all header info was missing (codec, fps info, duration, etc). By giving the tool one of the 4 working videos as an example it recovered everything without problems (losing gps metadata). So the A119 mini wrote correct video data, but failed to add the headers. So that seems less of a bitrate / write speed issue.
Any idea what could cause that or how I could fix that?
I was using a Sandisk 32Gb high endurance sdcard by the way.
The cam is on the same 20220519 firmware like any other production version.
This happened to me too during my first test 2 hour drive, I have not driven my car since then to see if the issue went away. I am also using a SanDisk 256GB Extreme microSDXC, curious if the microSD card is the culprit? Seems like some reason the recording files are getting corrupted.
I was using the highest resolution, 10 minute loop recording.
On side note, I never got to try but, try and play the video directly on the Dashcam. If you turn it on, then put it on standby mode (clicking the recording off), then click on the caution button, it should bring you to all the videos. See if you can play it through there and then your computer
