AutoStop Feature can and normally will corrupt the MP4
This is the version 2 unit and out of the box it is simple to setup. I purchased the ScanDisk 128G Class 10 SD card. The issue is that Auto Stop cannot be disabled. This is the feature that when the unit detects there is no longer video then it will automatically stop recording. The issue is that it is not accurate and will stop recording but will not close the MP4 file correctly and it will be corrupt and unusable. For example, it you have a VHS tape that you transfered or recorded multiple segments, i.e. birthday party, play, outdoor scene etc. on the same tape. That brief space between those recordings can be interpreted by the unit as a "stop" but since it is not long enough the unit does not close the file correctly, it's like a bump in the road. The result is you transfer a one hour video to digital and then take your SD card and load onto your laptop and the file is unreadable. Tech support knows about the issue and states a fix will not be available until spring so you should sit in front of the video and watch it every second, when you see these pauses hit stop record which obviously is not really an option. I even had tapes with no other recordings on it and when it reached the end of the tape it still would have about 15-20 minutes left with nothing recorded. The Clear unit would then automatically stop recording but again would not close the MP4 file correctly and thus it would be unreadable when I tried to view it on the unit or on my laptop. I would not suggest that anyone purchase this unit until such time as this company can disable the automatic stop. By the way this is not the stop where you set the timer to stop after a number of minutes, this is the automatic stop when the unit determines there is nothing left to record.
