The last 3 look like 727 to me, and then FS of F5 of F3 before it....

You should provide the file as an attachment,
the file that I downloaded is 328 KB (335,928 bytes), so certainly lost a lot of bits.
Also, only the license plate is usefull, so you could cut the total file size.

If you post the source clip, there are frame averaging techniques that can possibly be done (frame stepping can also find the best frame, which might not be the one you selected). If you reported this to police, some police departments have software that can do this too (although they might not use it for cases that only involve property damage).

This is the best I can do with level adjustment and also stacking the different channels.

New York? Don't you have front plates there? If so, can you also upload the left camera view?

BTW I think it's incredible that my phone 15 years ago had a higher resolution camera. Higher res camera sensors are cheap and they can use binning for vision, but save in full resolution for dashcam.

I would suggest something like Google Drive or Dropbox that doesn't recompress the video (including for the view others suggested). Just looking at bitrates of the downloaded file it seemed to be have been recompressed significantly. Already working with compression artifacts, adding more on top just makes things that much harder.

The sensor chosen was not optimized for dashcam usage, dashcam was just an addon function. There were much better dashcams even when the feature was introduced.

Wow, I sure hope you catch this driver. The plate number is definitely in the video. Good luck, I'll be watching this thread.

good point, I hope the refresh fixes this issue (at least to 5MP as is rumored).

I thought that's why he uploaded it to Vimeo, which supports high quality video. But he needs to set it up to work... I agree it's best to upload it as the files, not to a video service.

Doesn't matter how high quality it supports, most video services recompress after you upload, and that is bound to add artifacts given none of them use lossless compression. A file share service however keeps it the same. Basically the file should be identical to the one you uploaded.

We agreed about uploading the files directly. But I must correct you - Vimeo is not like "most" video services - you can upload uncompressed video and set it up not to add any processing. That is why Vimeo is used by most video professionals for short movies etc. It is probably not what was done by the uploader in this case, but it's good to know such services exists, and YouTube is not the only game in town.

Could you show the damage you got? Does the driver tried to pak behind you,
or stop and backup to intentionally hit your car?

Do you have any side view recording?

Wow, that guy has no idea how to drive. None.

 

[father_of_6]

The damage isn't nearly as bad as I would've guessed from the first video.
