10C - Bit rate and video format limitations

Hello dear Sena!

I've been using the 10C and it's an absolute delight.
but after about six months of use, I have a proposition to make:

I know video format of the 10C is .MOV
and if I understand correctly the bit-rate is locked at about 12 Mb/S
(tested at 1080P@30FPS video)

.MOV is an old format (it's from 2001, 7 years old!) and was originally made by Apple for QuickTime.
.MP4 has more support and easier to handle with.

I believe that the 10C hardware can handle it.
And I've seen cameras that you can select in the setting if you want to generate a .MOV file or a .MP4 file (SJ cam for example)

I know it's a lot to ask, but after I got ver 2.0 I know that you DO care about the end user experience.

please let us use .MP4 format with a dynamic bit-rate
or at least let us choose between high bit rate setting and normal/low bit rate setting
(Like there is in the Drift Ghost S)

Thanks in advance,
SM26

  The 10C originally allowed video files to be recorded using the .MP4 file format but it ended up causing video / audio syncing issues on the 10C. So we updated the firmware on the 10C to switch the video file format to .MOV to fix the video / audio syncing problem and allow the video recording to be played on a variety of devices as .MOV is a widely supported file format.

  Hello @Chris Woodyard.

  First of all, thank you for taking the time to look up an answer for the video type question.

  But do you by any chance have some good news regarding the bit rate question?

  I really think that we will see a big improvement if and when you will unlock the bit rate cap. (or set a higher one)

  I'm willing to be a beta tester for this matter just to show how committed I'm!

   

   

  Thanks in advance,
