The file size does not change.likely will reduce the file size on SD

Sounds like the person writing that did not understand why anyone would want it, and thought that if anyone did want it, then they would know why they wanted it!I get your point, the compression algorithm doesn't have to waste bits on dash reflection or irrelevant (for road evidence) cloud movement.
Bit odd then that Viofo advertises it as an 'option suitable for users with specific preferences or needs.' and not just mention that it improves the image quality?!
It would be very difficult to crop after compression with H264, impossible with H265 because H265 block size would span the edges of the cut, so it would need to be decompressed and recompressed a second time, which just wouldn't make sense.Just wondered, how do you know the content is cropped before compression? Do you have a tool for that?
(I only have a basic understanding of how digital image processing works...)
CorrectWhich makes sense as the bitrate doesn't change? And therefor the increase in image quality increases.
Complicated beast to understand, a (dash) cam

Good question, can't help you there I'm afraid. Don't have my cam in the car yet.Maybe the more interesting question is if the auto-exposure works before or after the crop, if there is something very bright, such as the sun, off the top of the cropped image, but on the full image, does that affect the exposure of the cropped image?
This is encouraging, let's see if testers confirm the image improvementThe file size does not change.
The video is terrible, the exposure jumps, overexposure!!Day Footage: 2K 21:9 max bitrate, HDR off:
It's on +0.0 in the EV settings, no CPL filter attached and late afternoon sun factoring into the footage.The video is terrible, the exposure jumps, overexposure!!
