Thank you for your question. The video player provided by Gnet System provides a function to convert JDR to MP4. If the court does not allow the converted file, you can use the video playback program provided by the Gnet System. The fact that the file can be played using a dedicated program is also proof that it is difficult to tamper with the file. I am sure an insurance company, a law enforcement officer, an attorney, and a courtroom will accept it.
Thank you for your reply. This seems like a reasonable and logical answer but I can envision some potential problems with convincing insurance companies, government agencies such as police departments or courtroom officials to install specialized software on their computer systems. Partly, this may be due to security concerns but also simply because busy organizations may not want to bother or take the time.
I can speak from personal experience to a degree because of a situation I was involved in where I needed to submit a series of dash cam and CCTV videos to a law enforcement agency and a prosecutor's office due to a criminal matter. They refused to look at anything that needed to be downloaded from the internet or look at anything online that required clicking on a link, for example. They required me to submit everything on digital media so they could scan the files before allowing them into their computer systems. If a file was difficult to display or copy they didn't want to deal with it. (this happened with a CCTV file).
Another issue applies to both law enforcement as well as insurance companies. Often, when you submit a file for a criminal matter or an insurance claim it gets passed from one person to another as your matter is processed by their organization. In a criminal matter or a serious traffic accident, perhaps where there might have been a fatality, your video is legal evidence. As evidence, when a video gets handed from one person to another within an organization, the term applied is "chain of custody". I can see a situation where it would be unlikely that an organization like a police department or insurance company might be unwilling to install proprietary software on multiple computers to view
original video from a single individual or perhaps a handful of individuals that happen to own a particular brand of dash cam.
I've commented along these lines many times before on this forum. If you want your legal or insurance matter to get proper attention, then you need to make it as
idiot proof and as easy as possible for ANY person within the chain of custody of your dash cam video to view it. If it becomes too difficult, too time consuming, or too much of a hassle, a person responsible for dealing with your matter may simply move on to the next case.
As to whether the JDR file is viable and worthwhile I don't have an opinion at this point but I can see that its acceptance and adoption in the marketplace might face some challenges.
