You seriously think that looping just doesn't work? That's an extremely low expectation, even my no-name brand cheapycam can manage to delete the oldest recording if there's not enough space left.
I've spent many years working in software, looping should be a trivial task.
I'm pretty sure that what does cause understandable issues is a sudden power cut, as that leaves shrapnel of files behind and/or a messed up file allocation table. I'm hoping that the parking guard feature, while not being sold as such, is actually a much better better way of doing things than a capacitor. This seems to be the issue with my old one - it has a dodgy power connector and no working capacitor. After enough wobbles it tells me the card needs formatting so I'm assuming it gets into a mess.
