Best way to make Sentry Videos?

Python! I really hate snakes!
I spliced the mutiple files using VLC.
Code:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLan\VLC\vlc.exe" 2019-03-22_13-05-right_repeater.mp4 2019-03-22_13-06-right_repeater.mp4 2019-03-22_13-07-right_repeater.mp4 --sout "#gather:std{access=file,dst=right_repeater.mp4}" --sout-keep

I will investigate this Python ffmpeg method. Thanks!

I am shooting for "Fullscreen video (front top center, left and right under front)" per StaticDischarge's link. My Google skills failed to find that thread.

Well that was super easy. I downloaded the tesla_dashcam.exe binary and installed it along with FFMPEG in a folder then put the videos in a subfolder. I created a restrictive account that only has write access to the folder and subfolder I created and opened a command prompt run as this restrictive user.
Worked on the first try. Thanks StaticDischarge!

ll need to give this a try next week... thx.
 
FYI don't splice any videos together as this expects the files from the Tesla to be untouched.

Here is the command line I used to get the video below. If the video does not show let me know. It is unlisted but should be able to view. I used the YouTube editor to crop the video afterwards.

Code:
J:\tesla\test>tesla_dashcam.exe --layout FULLSCREEN --quality HIGH --halign LEFT --valign TOP J:\tesla\test\i71\
