Hi,

Anybody know if there is a programme/software available or if it's even possible to convert the Thinkware time lapse video back to normal speed. Have emailed Thinkware but still waiting for a response.

Cheers

I believe that the time lapse recording is a set up within the "Recording Whilst Parked" option. As such it takes one pic every so many seconds so I don't think you can change that back to full motion video. I guess the alternative is to change from Time Lapse to Motion Detection whilst parked. This would then record 20 seconds of full video.But there are advantages with time lapse as it also has Impact Detection which will record up to 9 mins - 3 mins before and 6 mins after - an incident.

Hope this was what you were asking...  Robin

Thanks for that Robin I had kind of worked that out, perhaps I didn't word it very well but what I really wanted to know is if anyone knows of a video converter software which will convert time lapse to normal video speed recording, I realise time lapse saves time/space etc. but to me personally unless you can convert it to normal as well it seem a bit pointless to a degree.

When i have wanted to watch a timelapse back, at near normal speed, i use VLC, and clicker slower a few time

but as said the way timelapse works its a series of photos made in to a video, rather than video recording , so it can be jumpy

Slows it down enough to get details of passing car's reg's etc

Hahah - as I was typing my reply I was thinking "I'm sure I'm teaching Col to suck eggs here" but I typed it anyway  Robin

Just had a quick check with both my AVS and Cyberlink Software. All it does is reproduce the original file which I'm pretty sure is just a series of stills joined together as per npinks comment. Robin

No worries Buddy, to be fair I wasn't quite sure how it worked really. As npinks suggested tried VLC and you can slow it down somewhat but as he said not totally. Have obviously googled it and there doesn't appear to be anything that actually available to do what I was trying, it's not really a problem as I was only playing about to see if it could be done and trying a 128GB card to see if it accepted it as Peachy had posted a article he found that said a small amount of cards will work although Thinkware say a max. of 64GB.
