I have an old A119 that has served me well for many years. I don't often look at videos that I have recorded, I would say months go by that I never have a reason to look at the videos. This evening, we went to one of those drive through Christmas light displays and when I got home, I plugged into my PC to look at the footage. All the full videos in my movie folder play fine. They range in size from 452.9K to 453.2K for each "loop". The last video is always shorter because I shut the car down before the full "loop" is completed. These short videos will not play. Does anyone know a reason for this?
I have Firmware version A119-180913_v4.01. I have a good Samsung Pro Endurance 64gb card in it. The card is several years old.

The 'range' you described as 452.9K it's actually ~452MB which means that there's some data in there..
Try opening those videos with another media-player
Try to switch the video format from the camera to other available one (not sure if TS is available on A119) (instead of MP4)

If you use this card for many years, you can try to change the card first.

That behaviour is classic when the battery or supercaps totally fail.

When you power down they are there to 'properly' close the last file.

What you need is a program that can close an open file.
