Hi all.. I'm new here and just received my Duo Pro a few days ago. I recorded some video (H.264 -- the default encoding) and today I tried playing it back on my Mac (running Catalina) but found it lagging -- it was like it had a time delay of a second between each frame.. However, if I fired it up using the VLC player, it worked fine. But, I tried it both the standard QuickTime player and I also tried importing the videos into iMovie. Both QT and iMovie results are the same -- very choppy.
I found someone on the Dashcam forum talking about this and suggesting to try H.265 encoding (long-hold the MIC button) and the resulting video encoding is now showing as AAC,HEVC instead of AAC, H.264. Here's the two formats and how they looked from the Mac perspective.
Default format showing H.264..
Revised version showing H.265 (HEVC)
I don't know if anyone else is seeing this, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.. That little encoding change made a huge difference on my Mac, funny thing is that the same H.264 videos played fine on my IOS and iPad (iOS 13).. Go figure. Anyway, perhaps this might help someone..
