Anyone found a suitable video combiner to put the files in to a single video showing all cameras?
I'm using Tesla dashcam from
here
To make life easier there's a Windows exe version in there too. By default it will find your usb drive and set itself away combining the videos into your videos folder but If you're even a little technically inclined take a look at the various operating parameters that you can choose.
I have mine setup to save in a custom dir, have slightly better quality than the defaul, use the latest ffmpeg instead of the included one, use my gfx card for hardware encoding, skip previously converted clips and auto-delete converted clips. save each video in its native resolution instead of being downsized.
To do this you create a config file with the required settings in it and save that in the same folder as the .exe.
Create a shortcut to the exe e.g. on your desktop
Edit the shortcut to include the config file in the target
"C:\Program Files (x86)\tesla_dashcam\tesla_dashcam.exe" "@settings.cfg"
I copied everything from the config info page and stuck a # (comment/ignore) at the start of each line then selected the ones I wanted to use.
The option to monitor a folder means you could leave the script running on a server and have it automagically pick the transferred TeslaUSB videos up once they've been transferred your your Raspberry Pi / Roadie device.
