Playback of DashCam Video Files (.mov)

I wonder if anyone suffers when you extract your SD card & plug in to your PC, that a lot of the most recent "mov" files are not playable?
Ones that are earliest date wise on card are playable, but at some stage the later files become unreadable.

I have 4 or 5 video playing programmes but all say they can't play this particular video re the problem files.
There are large amounts of recordings often between 100 & 200mb in size according to the card.

My DashCam is under Amazon warranty, but wonder if others suffer same problem.

Windows PC ? Maybe codecs needed updating.

What are you playing them through ?

Isn’t that due to how your dash am is set up Gel?
I know on mine even with a 32gb card in it deletes the earlier recordings to make way for the new ones automatically.

I do format card via DashCam software on regular basis, and try to play via:

Windows Media Player
VLC " "
Win 10 native video player
Real Player
MPC HC


I do update my codecs regularly.

I have a Nextbase 312GW and play the videos via the PC Nextbase software - excellent and it creates great small-size videos too for emailing when necessary.

I haven't experienced it not recording properly.

Perhaps it's the card that's at fault not the camera?
