    Dont forget to drive aggressively to make good videos, forgive no mistakes, brake for nobody, drive at people making any mistakes at speed and shout obscenities.

    Its going in a car, not on a cycle helmet!

    If you then hard reset the DVR or let its battery run too flat for too long the internal clock is reset to an old default date.

    It then can't overwrite the card because as far as its concerned the new files its trying to write are 'older' than the ones already on the card.

    Neither of those applies.

    I haven't reset it, nor has the battery been allowed to run down. The camera is shut down overnight, and gets charged, going to and from work, each day.

    I've checked the OSD, and the date and time is correct.

    OK, I think I've figured it out.

    There are three options, for setting times.

    1. Loop record time period.

    2. Camera auto off.

    3. LCD auto off.

    I've set the first one to 10 minutes, and the others to OFF.

    It now seems to be working correctly, with the red OSD running to 10 minutes, then reverting to 00:00, and recording again.

    I'll only know for certain, that I've set it correctly, if, in a week or two, I haven't had another "SD Card Full" message.

    Have to say, the instructions aren't very clear. :(

    BTW: Is there a way to lock the previous 10 minute block of video?

    I ask because, it'd be just my luck to have an incident occur at 09:50, meaning, by the time I hit the "lock" button, it'll be recording a new video block.
