Ask the author he got back to me in a couple of hours, I could not read the default file, in the end I found how to change to MP4, all is well now
The one I posted left the phone as default youtube fixed it.
I tried it today on my 6 year old LG500 running android 2.2.2, worked fine
Sony Experia and Nexus 7 tomorrow,
Orientation, according to the settings under 'Sensor settings' there is auto rotation

The instruction on the LG500 differ to my Nexus 5, I can't find how to set the screen on the Nexus to auto. Must be the version of Android that makes the difference 2.2.2 againd 4.4

I am going to order a dash cam, Ive read so many posts on here about this cam and that cam, and now have seen so many websites im lost.

All I want is

something easily transfered to pc
runs of car mains
loops video
fairly good picture
and mounted to windsheild

EDIT***** and ideally not hogging up my 12v socket, id like to hide it away.

Can anyone advise if their dash cam does all of these?

I dont want any faffing about with converting this file to that ect ect

So what was the outcome Alex. Did you get one and if so what did you go for? I'm thinking about getting one but there's so many.

If you have a spare android phone use that with the software maketfit mentioned.

It works great with my old LG500, pro version <£2
